Halldale Wood - Old and new footbridges

Spent a couple of hours in Halldale Wood this afternoon, avoiding the wind.

  1. I love Halldale Wood ~ it's only a few hundred yards from where I live.

    Have you visited the ruins of Whitesprings in Whitesprings Plantation, just to the north of Halldale Wood ?

    I have to say you've got some marvellous photos on here ... of birds I never even knew were around this area.

    Give my regards to Ken Smith ~ I went to school with him.

    1. Thanks, it's a great area, I regularly walk up through Halldale and Whitesprings on to Flash Lane. I'll pass your regards on to Ken.

  3. There are several access points in to the wood, you can park in either of two places on Bent Lane just beyond Burley Fields Farm by the old barn (this is very muddy at the moment) or further up the road by the small wood. Alternatively there is access off Hall Moor road through the quarry or along the paved road to the houses (park by the quarry). Finally there is access just above Upperwood Kennels off Sydnope Hill.

  4. Hello,
    I wonder if anyone knows much about the fascinating ruins in Whitesprings Wood?
    I visit them quite frequently but would like to know more. There isn't much information from the Woodland Trust so maybe someone with local knowledge can help.
    Best wishes
    Alison

    1. A guy known as Mr Barker used to live at White springs Farm. He used to make Coffins.
