Description
Description
INTRODUCTION
The sale represents a unique opportunity to purchase the well known local landmark being Goit Stock Wood within which lies the impressive and much visited Goit Stock Waterfall. The wood lies in largely unspoilt, attractive rolling countryside between Harden and Cullingworth, 3 miles west of Bingley and just over 4 miles south of Keighley.
The property itself extends in all to approximately 69.8 acres including the attractive deciduous woodland which has become a haven for wildlife including deer and through which run the Hallas and Harden Becks, home to trout and grayling. The valley was carved out during the last ice age and the differential weathering of the grit stone and shales has led to the creation of a number of waterfalls, the most impressive of which is Goit Stock Waterfall which is approximately 20 ft (6.1 metres) high over which the water cascades.
Whilst the section below the waterfall is locally referred to as the hidden valley that was not always the case. At one time there were 6 mills on the Beck and for a period the former Goit Stock Mill was utilised as a café and ballroom before it burnt down in 1927 the valley was a popular visitor attraction. Today visitors can enjoy the peaceful surroundings of the attractive woodland which mainly comprises Birch, Oak, Sycamore and Beech trees. The steeper valley side and exposed rock formations open out to a gentler and flatter landscape towards the eastern end of the wood adjoining the private entrance roadway.
The Millennium Way footpath follows the southern boundary of the wood before joining the central pathway through the wood and past the waterfall leading onto Hallas Lane. The path through the wood varies from a gentle open pathway through to a steeper, more slippery section close to the waterfall where railings have been erected by the council. Whilst access for visitors is on foot the purchasers will be granted the right to park in the car park to the south side of Harden Park towards the centre of the woodland.
For purchasers this is a rare opportunity to acquire part of the local history of the area to include a well known landmark which is likely to be also of interest to those seeking property with high landscape, amenity and nature conservation value.
Potential for mobile café or food stall to be used on site.
Acreage: 69.8 Acres
