Great place to walk and breathe in the fresh air. Many dog walkers on the day of my visit but plenty of room to social distance. Will have to come again for more real English countryside.

Wear good walking shoes as the ground is very uneven. There's tea rooms that sell snacks etc and a pub just before you get onto the Glen. Very nice place to visit with different walking routes.

Wooded valley with many pathways and stream down the middle. Could probably go back several times before exploring the whole Glen. Busy but not surprising as on the doorstep of a number of towns north of Bradford. Lots of Oaks and silver birch trees and a small resivour toward the end of the woods. Recommend decent walking or welly boots as muddy. Also quite rock with lots of exposed limestone. Would recommend if in the area.
