Dist:0.7km west<br/>This former medieval stronghold in autumnal splendour. The woods are particularly attractive in spring when the bluebells are in flower.

Dist:0.8km east<br/>This is the narrowest section of the A61 between Leeds and Harrogate. It has been the site of numerous accidents with the masonry parapets being demolished on several occasions. The bridge is a listed Building and therefore cannot easily be widened under current Planning legislation. A scheme for a Harewood bridge by-pass was investigated around 1990 but failed to gain sufficient support in the Local Transport Plan.

Dist:0.9km east<br/>The weirs upstream of the bridge control the water level for the sawmill. This weir was constructed to provide a paved invert under the bridge, thereby preventing scour damage to the foundations in time of flood. The weir also provides opportunities for local anglers.

Dist:0.9km east<br/>A rather unconventional stile meets the walker on the footpath from the sawmill across the busy A61 at Harewood bridge. Perhaps the horizontal bar is there to warn the unwary that he or she is about to step out into live traffic - there is no footway on this north side of the narrow main road between Leeds and Harrogate.

Dist:1.1km west<br/>This pleasant stretch of woodland beside the River Wharfe conceals much evidence of medieval activity, in the form of ditches and mounds. This used to be the centre of the manor of Harewood, but was abandoned in 1316 when it was moved to the castle in the present day estate, about a mile to the south east.
