Within walking distance of the market town of Pudsey, synonymous with Children In Need's Pudsey Bear, Black Carr Woods is a delightful place for a ramble. With myriad trails, pretty little streams, bluebells in the warmer months and wild mushrooms aplenty, it is a classic English wood. Whilst it is highly unlikely you will encounter a bear in Black Carr today, it's easy to believe its wild surroundings were the inspiration for local designer Joanna Lane's famous mascot.
