Covering an area of approximately 100 acres, this ancient forest is known for its rich biodiversity and tranquil atmosphere. It is nestled within the rolling hills and valleys of the Yorkshire countryside, providing visitors with a peaceful and immersive natural experience.

The woodland is primarily composed of broadleaf trees such as oak, beech, and ash, creating a dense canopy that filters sunlight and casts enchanting shadows on the forest floor. These towering trees provide a habitat for a diverse range of wildlife, including various bird species, small mammals, and insects.

Dordy Flats Wood boasts an extensive network of walking trails, allowing visitors to explore its natural wonders at their own pace. The paths wind through the forest, offering glimpses of babbling brooks, wildflowers, and ancient moss-covered stone walls. The enchanting woodland is particularly popular during the spring and summer months when the forest floor is carpeted with bluebells and other native wildflowers.

Nature enthusiasts can enjoy birdwatching, as the woodland is home to a variety of species, including woodpeckers, thrushes, and owls. The tranquil atmosphere also makes it an ideal spot for wildlife photography and nature meditation.

Dordy Flats Wood is easily accessible, with a small parking area and nearby public transportation options. It is a hidden gem in Yorkshire, offering visitors a chance to reconnect with nature and experience the beauty of an ancient woodland.

Westwick Cut An artificial cut, probably dating from 1773 when the Ure Navigation was opened upriver to Ripon. To the right is 'The Island', the other side of which is the river. After a week or more of sub zero temperatures, the canal cut has frozen over, although the river continues to flow normally.
