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 paths laid out for, walking, horse riding and cycling, 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 bridge
This bridge is in the middle of the park and is an old bridge built before the park was established.
At one time the track over the bridge was an access road to the landfill site but currently does not seem to support road traffic. The track connects Jill Farm at the end of Jill Lane and Carr Farm at the end of Carr Lane, so maybe at one time was a farm track.
