Aldermen's Gorse is a picturesque woodland located in Yorkshire, England. Spread across an area of approximately 50 acres, it is known for its stunning natural beauty and diverse ecosystem. The gorse, a spiny evergreen shrub, dominates the landscape, lending the woodland its name.

The woodland is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts, as it supports a wide range of flora and fauna. The gorse bushes provide shelter and food for various bird species, including the stonechat and the linnet. Additionally, the woodland is home to small mammals like rabbits and squirrels, and occasionally larger mammals such as deer can be spotted.

Visitors to Aldermen's Gorse can enjoy leisurely walks along the well-maintained trails that wind through the woodland. The paths lead visitors through a variety of scenic views, from dense thickets of gorse to open clearings filled with wildflowers. The vibrant colors of the gorse bushes, especially when in bloom, create a stunning visual spectacle.

Although Aldermen's Gorse is predominantly made up of gorse bushes, there are also other tree species interspersed throughout the woodland. These include oak, ash, and birch trees, which provide shade and add to the overall biodiversity of the area.

The woodland is open to the public year-round, and visitors are encouraged to respect the natural environment by following designated trails and not disturbing the wildlife. Aldermen's Gorse offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature.

By the cross at Brandesburton – 1979 This was on an enthusiast tour, but was recreating the sort of scene, with this type of vehicle, which was shortly to disappear. It is East Yorkshire 786, an AEC Renown with Park Royal bodywork, new in 1965, withdrawal being the result of conversion of services to one-person operation. This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761">Link</a> . The cross probably dates from the 14th century, and was a market cross rather than a wayside or preaching cross. It is Listed Grade II and is also a Scheduled Monument.

Old milepost At the southern end of Brandesburton opposite the village sign is this mileplate which would have been set up by the newly formed East Riding CC in the late 19C/early 20C. The White Cross to Bridlington Turnpike was enacted in 1767 but the original Act was not renewed after the initial 21 years. It is thought that milestones were not set up. This plate was found in a pond, repainted by a local resident <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6037970">TA1147 : Old Milepost by Main Street/New Road junction, Brandesburton</a> and set up at its original site by the East Riding Highways unit.

Village sign At the southern end of Brandesburton where New Road leads off to the right from Main Street is this attractive village sign set up by the residents to commemorate the Queen's Golden Jubilee in 2002. The village centre is now by-passed by the A165. The milepost is just to the left at the back of the pavement. <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7275979">TA1147 : Old milepost</a>

Fallow Field Remnants of last year's borage crop remain in this fallow field. This photograph was taken in the top right hand side of the square (TA1050) from above the roadside hedgerow - the position (according to a GPS) where this square begins, so it should qualify as a genuine 'Geograph'.
