Newtondale Forest
 

Newtondale Forest is situated in one of the most spectacular valleys in Yorkshire created when meltwater from an ice age glacier gouged a deep gorge through the hills. Originally planted as a 'typical' Forestry Commission wood much has been done in recent years to restore the rugged nature of this incredible landscape.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE YORKSHIRE ENDURO WILL BE TAKING PLACE ON THE 5TH & 6TH JULY. ON SATURDAY THE ONLY AREA AFFECTED WILL BE THE HIGH MUFFLES AREA. FOR PUBLIC SAFETY ON SUNDAY CROPTON & NEWTONDALE FORESTS WILL BE CLOSED.
