Opened in 2012 on an old landfill site, Dewsbury Country Park is a wonderful example of how nature can reclaim an area when allowed. Lots of trees have been planted on the site to form the biggest new wood in northern England. The park covers 188 acres, 101 of which will be woodland. There's a network of footpaths and cycle lanes through the park.
