November 29, 2025, Little Beck Wood

Ancient semi-natural woodland that covers about 26 hectares and has been continuously wooded for centuries. Really nice walk, some of it on uneven ground perilously close to the quite high and steep banks of May Beck and Little Beck. Provides a respite from the biting moorland wind in winter.
