Latest update - (desktop wallpaper & jigsaws)
Thursday 9th June 2016

Hardcastle Crags in West Yorkshire. The woodland is owned by the National Trust and is approximately 2 miles from the town of Hebden Bridge. In spring the woodland floor is covered in wild bluebells and pink purslane. There are 400 acres of woodland to explore and 30 miles of footpaths.The river once powered the 19th-century cotton mill called Gibson Mill, which is within the woods. It was one of the first powered mills built at the start of the Industrial Revolution and has now been renovated to demonstrate renewable energy sources.
