Doctor's Wood is a picturesque forest located in the county of Yorkshire, England. Covering an area of approximately 50 acres, it is nestled within the scenic landscape of the region, offering visitors a serene and tranquil environment to explore.

The woodland is named after its association with Doctor's Wood House, an 18th-century mansion that once stood nearby. Although the house is no longer in existence, the forest retains its name and continues to attract nature enthusiasts and hikers alike.

The woodland is predominantly composed of native tree species such as oak, beech, and birch, creating a diverse and vibrant ecosystem. The canopy of the trees provides ample shade, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely stroll on a sunny day. The forest floor is adorned with a variety of wildflowers, adding a burst of color to the landscape.

Several well-marked trails wind through the forest, allowing visitors to explore its beauty at their own pace. These paths cater to different levels of difficulty, accommodating both casual walkers and more experienced hikers. Along the way, nature enthusiasts may encounter an array of wildlife, including squirrels, rabbits, and various species of birds.

Doctor's Wood offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, providing a place for both relaxation and outdoor recreation. Whether one seeks a quiet spot for reflection or an opportunity to connect with nature, this charming woodland in Yorkshire has something to offer all who venture within its borders.

The old A1 This confused me as my map was out of date. I stood here for a while wondering why the A1 was empty before noticing the A1(M). This road is now called the A168.

Retired Road Until 2005 heavy traffic thundered along here on the A1 dual carriageway. Now the road is in semi retirement, one carriageway being reduced to a cycle path, whilst the other carries light traffic as the A168. The A1 Motorway is a little further to the east.

Quiet times on the old A1 The A1 once passed through the centre of Wetherby, then along this route to the north of the town. Later a by-pass was built and the road became a dual carriageway, but now it is quiet again as the A1 has become a motorway on a parallel route a half mile to the east.
