Events along the Trail
Outwood Trail
This old colliery site now offers sixty hectares of woodland. The trail itself is based on a section of disused railway and forms part of the National Cycle Network.
The Millennium Woodland
The Millennium Wood is a landmark countryside project which will create a new woodland on 35 hectares of land within the Outwood Community Parkland at Outwood near to Radcliffe.
The project is a community effort involving schools, youth groups, volunteers and professional contractors working together to produce a new woodland for the community on land which was formally occupied by colliery oil tips, railway sidings, stock yards and a power station.
The project will involve a significant amount of new tree planting, but equally important is the need to establish a woodland which is safe, welcoming and accessible to the public, and with this in mind a number of new feeder paths have already been built to meet up with the Outwood Trail, forming circular walks through the woodland.
