Great Brow, Parkinson's Park, Guiseley
The field named Great Brow on the 1838 Tithe Map, previously known as Potterton Brow when Kelcliffe House was a tannery in the 18th century. Now part of Parkinson's Park, it is an unstable area, full of springs, and shaped by glacial action. Acid grassland is the main feature. The view to the north west is Burley Moor on Rombalds Moor looking over the Airedale Gap. To the right of the picture is Jubilee Walk, and area planted with shrubs from the woodland trust for Queen Elizabeth II's diamond jubilee. See parkinsonspark.co.uk for more information.
