Come and enjoy an ancient Woodland in the hearT of Leeds
Gipton Wood is a beautiful ancient oak woodland covering 8 hectares at the heart of Oakwood in north-east Leeds. Teeming with wildlife and a wide variety of ancient woodland plants and fungi, there is always something new to see in every season.
Criss-crossed with paths and holding a bronze-age ring-ditch, it is perfect for exploring and getting close to nature, a natural playground for children and adults alike.
