Arthur's Rein is a Local Nature Reserve and is an area of semi-improved grassland with areas of less intensively mown, species-rich grassland providing a varied wildflower display in the summer. It is one of a number of similar areas in the Wyke Beck Valley.
The Wyke Beck is a small stream that flows for 7 miles in the Leeds Area from Roundhay Park to the River Aire.
Community Orchard at Arthur's Rein
Orchards have played an important role in communities for many centuries, providing a focal point, a gathering space, and a place where people and the rest of nature successfully work together to create abundant harvests of fresh fruit.
In March 2019 children from Bishop Young Academy planted 12 trees, including apples, pears and hazelnuts in our small community orchard.
