Dixon Scar Woods, Sowerby Bridge.
Dixon Scar Woods, also known locally Dixy Woods is a small woodland Nr Sowerby Bridge, West Yorkshire. It stretchers up the hillside from the valley bottom alongside the River Calder at Hollins Mill to below Sowerby Bridge Cemetery. The mainline railway runs directly underneath the woods through Dixy Tunnel (Cemetery Tunnel) with fields, Sowerby Bridge Cricket club and the river at the bottom of the of the valley the woods cling to. There are a number pf paths through the trees in all directions but on the day I was there I followed one from the bridge over the River Calder at Hollins Mill along a route that led through the lower part of the wood and along the river's edge to Tenterfields Business Park between Sowerby Bridge and Luddenden Foot, finishing my walk at Monkey Tunnel that that allows people to follow a path from Tenterfields Bridge up to Boulderclough.
