Beeley Wood
Beeley Wood is a woodland in the north of the City of Sheffield, near Middlewood. It is one of 35 ancient woodland areas within the Sheffield City boundary. An ancient woodland is defined as a site that has been continuously occupied by woodland from the year 1600 or before. ==Overview== The woods are situated on the eastern side of the River Don between the village of Oughtibridge and the Sheffield suburb of Middlewood. Most common access from the Middlewood end of the wood is from the end of Clay Wheels Lane or from Middlewood Road South over the Don by the Rocher footbridge. The woods cover an area of approximately 60 hectares and slope up quite steeply from the river gaining around 70 metres in height before ending at farmland. The wood is traversed by two public footpaths, the lower of these is a pleasant and recently re-covered riverside walk which is part of the Upper Don Walk, a scenic walk by the river from the centre of Sheffield to Oughtibridge.〔(www.waterscape.com. ) Gives some details of Upper Don Walk.〕 The other public footpath runs the length of the upper wood at its highest point, there are many other paths not marked on the OS map. Beeley Wood is traversed by the famous Woodhead railway line, there is one level crossing and one footbridge for pedestrians to cross the line. The woods are home to a large colony of bats and all three species of woodpecker native to Britain can be seen in the woods. In spring there is a large covering of bluebells on the woodland floor. Wilson Spring Wood, a small area of wood, classed as an ancient and semi natural woodland, measuring approximately 300 metres by 250 metres lies to the NE of the main wood, separated by an area of farmers fields 300 metres in width.
