Braham Wood, located in the county of Yorkshire, is a picturesque forest that covers a vast area of land and offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. This enchanting woodland is nestled within the larger Braham Park, which is known for its diverse and rich natural beauty.

The wood is characterized by its dense canopy of ancient oak, beech, and birch trees that tower overhead, creating a sense of serenity and providing a home for a wide variety of flora and fauna. The forest floor is carpeted with a lush carpet of mosses, ferns, and wildflowers, offering a delightful sight for nature enthusiasts and hikers.

Braham Wood is renowned for its extensive network of well-maintained walking trails that crisscross through the forest, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the tranquil ambiance while exploring the diverse habitats.

Spofforth Castle In south west corner of the Square, Looking North.
The ruins of a hall range are all that remain from a fortified house. The site had been the home of the Percy family since Norman times and in 1308, Henry de Percy obtained a licence to crenellate. However the next year he purchased the barony of Alnwick, and it was at Alnwick (Northumberland) that he built a magnificent castle that became the new home of the Percys. The oldest visible part of the property is the 13th century undercroft to the hall, which is built against a rocky outcrop. There is a 14th century two-storey chamber to the north of the hall that has a polygonal stair turret on the north-west corner. The main hall was rebuilt in the 15th century.
