Beeley Wood, Ancient woodland in northern Sheffield, England.
Beeley Wood extends across 150 acres of land, rising steeply from the River Don and reaching a height of 230 feet at its highest point.
The woodland's name originates from a 12th-century document referring to it as Byllhauwode, indicating an Anglo-Saxon farm belonging to someone named Billa.
The woodland represents one of 35 ancient woodlands within Sheffield's boundaries, maintaining continuous forest coverage since at least the year 1600.
Access to the woodland is available from Clay Wheels Lane or Middlewood Road South, with the Rocher footbridge crossing over the River Don.
The Woodhead railway line crosses through the forest, featuring both a level crossing and a footbridge for visitors to traverse the tracks.
