About Heath

Heath commands a high, airy plateau above the Calder valley, its elevated position offering a wide perspective over the surrounding West Yorkshire landscape. It lies 1.5 miles east-south-east of Wakefield (from Wakefield: bearing 112°T, OS grid SE 355 199), and is situated south-west of Kirkthorpe village. Heath retains an air of stillness, governed by the expansive Village Green where the light catches the long, fine grasses during the golden hour. A cluster of Georgian houses frames this open space, their brickwork holding the warmth of the sun long after the shadows lengthen. Towards the west, the skeletal remains of the Dame Mary Bolles Water Tower rise abruptly, a stark reminder of past industrial ambition against the horizon. Below, the dark, reflective surface of The Half Moon reservoir mirror the shifting clouds, providing a quiet sanctuary for waterfowl. The ground here is shaped by centuries of use, yet it remains untamed enough for the wind to sweep freely across the exposed ridge. Each path leading from Heath carries the scent of damp earth and crushed stone, grounding the visitor in the immediate, tactile reality of the land.
