Burley Woodhead West Yorkshire Map

About Burley Woodhead

Sunlight, often a shy visitor in the valley, sometimes spills across the undulating landscape surrounding Burley Woodhead, gilding the rough stone of its older dwellings. It lies 4.5 km north-west of Guiseley (from Guiseley: bearing 308°T, OS grid SE 154 447), and is situated west-north-west of Menston village. The air here, carrying the scent of damp earth and distant sheep, seems to possess a quiet, enduring quality, a whisper of the ancient paths that crisscross the moors above. The modest cluster of houses in Burley Woodhead, some with slate roofs worn smooth by generations of wind and rain, huddle together as if for warmth against the broad, open skies. There is a sense of the land dictating the rhythm of life, a gentle turning of seasons that has shaped the character of this place over long, unhurried centuries. The very stones of the ancient dry-stone walls, a dark, weathered grey, seem to absorb the muted colours of the Yorkshire sky.
