This is one of the pages under Places where I am trying to collect together photos of a place I have visited several times over the years
Denso Marston Nature Reserve is a short stretch along the River Aire in Baildon behind the Denso Marston factory on Otley Road. Rather conveniently there is a lay-by on Otley Road just North of the white timber St James Church and the gate down to the reserve is opposite it. The Nature Reserve has its own website here where you can find out about activities and events. The map below shows the location and for those familiar with the 3 Word Address it is at “along pushy crew“, or you can use Google Maps.
The photos below were all taken at the reserve or along the river between the footbridge at Buck Lane and the railway bridge just past Charlestown Cemetery. Over the years I have seen a wide range of Flora and Fauna. I did try to limit the gallery to one photo per species.
