Bishop Wood loop walk.
Bishop Wood is a woodland located in the village of Thorpe Willoughby in North Yorkshire, England. The history of Bishop Wood dates back many centuries and it has played an important role in the local community throughout its history.
The woodland was originally part of the estate of the Bishop of Durham, and was used for hunting and other leisure activities. In the 19th century, the woodland was purchased by the Earl of Londesborough, who built a large mansion nearby and used the woodland for hunting and shooting.
During the 20th century, the woodland became a popular destination for local residents and visitors, who enjoyed walking and picnicking in the peaceful surroundings. In the 1960s, the woodland was acquired by the Forestry Commission, who have managed it as a commercial forest ever since.
Today, Bishop Wood is a thriving woodland, covering an area of over 500 acres. It is home to a wide range of wildlife, including deer, birds, and other woodland animals. The Forestry Commission manages the woodland sustainably, ensuring that it remains a valuable resource for future generations.
