Swan Meadow is a picturesque region located in Yorkshire, England. Situated amidst the stunning landscape of the Yorkshire Downs and Moorland, it offers visitors a unique and idyllic experience.

The meadow itself is characterized by its lush greenery, filled with an abundance of vibrant wildflowers during the summer months. It is a haven for various species of birds, including swans, which can often be seen gracefully gliding along the serene meandering river that runs through the heart of Swan Meadow. This river provides a peaceful soundtrack to the area, as it gently flows past the surrounding rolling hills.

The Yorkshire Downs, which surround Swan Meadow, are a sight to behold. The undulating hills offer breathtaking panoramic views, with their green expanses stretching as far as the eye can see. Hikers and nature enthusiasts can explore the numerous winding trails that crisscross the area, immersing themselves in the natural beauty of the region.

Adjacent to the downs lies the vast Moorland, known for its heather-covered landscapes. The heather blooms into a stunning purple hue during late summer, creating a captivating spectacle that attracts visitors from far and wide. The Moorland is also home to a diverse array of wildlife, including rare bird species and unique plant life.

Swan Meadow, Yorkshire, truly offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Its combination of unspoiled meadows, rolling hills, and moorland make it a must-visit destination for nature lovers seeking solace in the beauty of the English countryside.

Old milestone A few of the West Riding CC late 19C milestones were cast as flat plates.   This was usually where there wasn't room for a protruding attachment.   This is by the Navigation Inn on the A670, once the West Riding but Greater Manchester since the early 1970s.   It was painted in 2010 but the legends were not outlined in black.   The foundry name, Brayshaw & Booth, Makers, Liversedge is just discernable under HUDDERSFIELD/13 MILES.   These flat plates also had a narrower backing stone than the usual design.
