Hirst Woods run along the Leeds Liverpool canal and the River Aire just outside Saltaire near Shipley

Hirst Woods run along the Leeds Liverpool canal and the River Aire just outside Saltaire. A large, mature wood nestling in between the railway line and the canal. Wide meandering paths and lots of wildflowers in spring.

Well worth a visit
