Landfarm Gardens West Yorkshire part 1

"The gardens have been created over a period of thirty five years, within an almost treeless landscape
First came the shelter belts.  With the help of friends, Calderdale Council and a band of enthusiasts  something approaching 20,000 trees have been planted over the years into this beautiful upland landscape,  creating a habitat for wildlife which they have been quick to exploit. Last year 52 species of birds were recorded."

Vintage Cycling Touring Routes Wales

 The Author of the cycling Touring Guides  Harold Briercliffe was born in Rochdale in 1910.
The series was a spin off from the magazine Cycling (now published as cycling weekly).
In 2010 Clare Balding presented a BBC TV series that retracted some of Briercliffe's routes.  as a result of the series 3 of his books (North, South and Central) were republished by Batsford Books in 2012.  with additions by Mark Jarman and sustrans indicating alternative routes to avoid heavy traffic.
