We had a fabulous evening with Andrew Milne guiding us round Park Wood in the twilight hours, spotting bats and 'hearing' them with the bat detector!  The bats were out in full force and we saw plenty 'Flittermice' in the woods.

Many thanks to Andrew for being a brilliant bat guide.

Picked this up in town today. A lovely little leaflet with info on the beautiful green spaces in Keighley - including Park Wood.

There's also some info on short exercises to try out while you're enjoying the outdoors to prompt a deeper connection with nature.
