Bowden Housteads Woods, Ancient woodland in Sheffield, United Kingdom
Bowden Housteads Woods spans between Darnall and Handsworth districts, bordered by Sheffield Outer Ring Road, Sheffield Parkway, and Handsworth Road.
The 1853 Ordnance Survey map revealed a sandstone quarry within the woods that supplied materials for many older buildings in Handsworth district.
Streets in the adjacent Triangle Estate bear names of tree species, reflecting the woodland heritage through appellations like Larch Hill and Willow Drive.
The woodland offers free access to visitors and contains numerous paths for walking, with parking facilities available near the entrance points.
Local miners constructed an open-air swimming pool in 1926, fed by natural spring water and enclosed by a fence made of railway sleepers.
