Holly Bushes, Yorkshire is a small woodland area located in the heart of the county. Covering an area of approximately 10 acres, it is characterized by its dense forest of holly bushes, hence its name. The woodland is situated amidst rolling hills and picturesque landscapes, making it a popular destination for nature lovers and hikers.

The holly bushes in this area are predominantly English holly (Ilex aquifolium), known for their glossy, dark green leaves with sharp prickles. These evergreen shrubs can grow up to 15 meters in height, creating a dense canopy that provides shelter and food for various bird species, such as thrushes and blackbirds. The woodland floor is adorned with fallen holly leaves and occasionally dotted with clusters of red berries during the winter months, adding a vibrant touch to the scenery.

The forest is crisscrossed by a network of well-maintained trails, allowing visitors to explore the area at their own pace. These paths meander through the woodland, offering glimpses of wildlife like squirrels and deer that call the forest home. Along the way, one can also find benches strategically placed for those seeking a moment of tranquility or a spot to enjoy a picnic.

Holly Bushes, Yorkshire is open to the public year-round, and admission is free. It is recommended to wear appropriate footwear and clothing, especially during wet weather, as some trails may become muddy. The area is easily accessible by car, with ample parking available nearby. Whether you are a nature enthusiast or simply looking for a peaceful retreat, Holly Bushes, Yorkshire offers a serene environment and a chance to immerse yourself in the beauty of nature.

Burton Leonard church, from the NE A Victorian church that doesn't get more than 5 lines of description in the updated Pevsner guide. St Leonard's dates from 1877. This apparently replaced a medieval church, of which nothing remains.

New bridge over the beck I photographed this beck crossing in 2009, but the bridge is not the same one. The gabion and handrail on this side have both gone, and the current bridge is longer with more rails and stanchions. The bridge doesn't appear to line up exactly with the path as shown on the OS map.

A stream revisited I took a photo here in the autumn of 2009 and commented about springs, but after checking out the first edition 6" map of the area, it looks as though I was mistaken. There are a lot of 'humps and bumps' in this area, as well as odd bits of masonry [as in the foreground of this photo], and it appears that this is the site of a former water mill - 'Burton Mill' which is described as a corn mill. The mill has long gone, and the mill race has been reduced to little more than a meandering ditch, but this must be part of it.
