Bar Plantation is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Yorkshire, England. Nestled within the expansive Yorkshire Dales National Park, this enchanting forest covers an area of approximately 100 acres. The plantation can be found near the village of Bar, which is renowned for its natural beauty and rural charm.

The woodland is predominantly composed of mature trees, including oak, ash, and beech, which create a dense canopy that provides shelter for a wide variety of flora and fauna. The forest floor is adorned with a rich tapestry of native wildflowers, such as bluebells and primroses, adding bursts of color to the landscape during the spring months.

Bar Plantation offers a tranquil retreat for nature enthusiasts and outdoor enthusiasts alike. The well-maintained footpaths wind through the woodland, allowing visitors to explore its hidden corners and discover its natural treasures. The plantation is also home to a diverse range of wildlife, including deer, badgers, and numerous bird species.

In addition to its natural beauty, Bar Plantation has historical significance. The woodland has been utilized for centuries, providing timber for local communities and serving as a source of fuel. Today, it is protected as a site of special scientific interest, recognizing its ecological importance and the need to preserve its unique ecosystem.

Whether visitors are seeking a peaceful stroll, a chance to spot wildlife, or simply a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life, Bar Plantation offers a serene and idyllic setting to reconnect with nature.

The B1223 Ulleskelf road flooded in January 2005 There is a small stream that flows into the River Wharfe that the road crosses (you can see the bridge sign). The road was closed for about a week, but someone thought it was worth chancing it.

Grimston Park Private parkland on the parish boundary between Grimston and Kirkby Wharfe with North Milford. Grimston Park is also the name of the 19th century mansion at the heart of the estate, built in 1839 by Decimus Burton for John Cradock, Lord Howden who apparently had the house remodelled only a year later for his wife, a Russian princess and cousin of the Tsar. In 1849 the estate was bought by Albert Denison (born Albert Conyngham in 1805) when he inherited an immense fortune from his maternal uncle, William Joseph Denison. Albert Denison became Baron Londesborough in 1850 and died in London in 1860. The estate was sold to the Fielden family in 1873 and now includes working farms, rented cottages, a plant nursery and a number of offices. Part of the mansion house has been converted into smaller, privately owned homes.
