For a relaxing stroll through the woodlands, the flat nature of Allerthorpe is great! Teeming with wildlife, particularly insects, be on the lookout! Consider yourself lucky if you see one, they are shy, but they like to sunbathe from the mid-morning to the early afternoon through Spring and Autumn.
Part of the nature reserve is leased to the Yorkshire wildlife trust, and the whole woods are managed to ensure it keeps its beautiful biodiversity.
