This estate five miles east of Haworth became a country park when it was taken over by Bingley Urban District Council. The mature trees growing in these 550 acres were planted by the Ferrands, who lived here from the 17th to the 20th century. On the southern edge is the Druid’s Altar, a rocky outcrop high above the Aire Valley. The man-made Coppice Pond has Medieval roots and was reworked by Walker Ferrand in the 19th century. Come to feed the ducks but use oats instead of bread! Another Ferrand, Lady Blantyre would spend a lot of time at an overhanging rock on the estate, and this has been named in her honour, with a memorial stone erected by her son in law. Take a while to wander the venerable ash, oak, pine and larch woods, and if golf is your game, the 18-hole Bingley St Ives Course is also on the estate.

Bingley St.Ives Golf Course is laid out in a single loop formation which leaves the clubhouse to move through parkland, woodland and moorland before returning again to the clubhouse to complete the 18 holes.
A superb wooded estate full of wildlife and amazing walks. From a gentle stroll around Coppice Pond or a more challenging hike up or down the valley side. The smaller Baxter's Pond is dog friendly and there is often a doggy pool party in full swing. There is a tea shop, adventure play area and a picnic area. Look out for the chainsaw carvings throughout the estate.
