Airedale Woodland Walk
We’re lucky to have the beautiful Yorkshire countryside right on our doorstep here at Airedale General Hospital.
We firmly believe being out and about in nature can help our patients, visitors and staff alike to de-stress and feel calmer.So why not follow one of our trails and see if you can spot some of the species of trees, plants and birds that live in Airedale?
There are two trails to choose from, both approximately o.4 miles long.
