Discover the Outdoors

Enjoy the stark beauty of winter in Bradford & district there's plenty of space to have fun. Put on your bobble hat and scarf and brave the cold, go on a walk to recharge your batteries, take in the classic sights of the Cow and Calf rocks in Ilkley, and the Top Withens near Haworth, or find a new place to explore along the Millennium Way.  At this time of year, woodlands can be especially magical, from Judy Woods to Bingley's St. Ives Estate Country Park, where you'll find intriguing wood carvings and a lovely quiet space. A visit to our Green flag award parks are a great place to enjoy the fresh air, reconnect with nature, and to play. Discover 'art in the park' and the majestic Cartwright Hall in Lister Park, or visit the fascinating Cliffe Castle Museum and Park, which has a small woodland, play area, aviary, glass house, and water features!
