The Spen Valley Greenway
The Spen Valley Greenway is a rails to trails cycle route designed to be used not only by cyclists, but also walkers, horse riders and wheel chair users.
It links the towns of Oakenshaw and Dewsbury and was opened in 2001.
Dewsbury Country Park
The Dewsbury Country Park was opened in 2012 and was created on an old landfill site. The site has been grassed over and footpaths and cycle routes laid out, some of which have a hard surface.
In addition it is also being planted with a large number of trees to form the biggest new wood in the North of England. It is one of 60 Jubilee Woods being planted throughout the UK to celebrate the Queen's Golden Jubilee.
Dewsbury Country Park is 188 acres and the wood will take up 101 acres. As at 2013 39000 trees had been planted.
The Map
The Spen Valley Greenway runs very close to the boundary of the park on its eastern side. The map marks one of the access points to the Country Park just off the Greenway
This particular sign has been vandalised and at the top of the map the words 'Welcome to Dewsbury Park' have been removed. The map has not been touched, but you may not know where 'HERE' is after all !
