Dist:0.2km<br/>There is a strip of woodland along the southern edge of Fixby Golf Course, and through it an unofficial path leading from the public footpath across the course to Cowcliffe Road. This view is looking back up towards the public footpath. The rain started a few minutes later!

Dist:0.3km<br/>Fixby Hall is a Georgian house of two storeys; the east front has a four-bay centre with two flanking canted bay-windows (the one on the right hidden by trees in this photo). It was the home of a branch of the Thornhill family, and is now the clubhouse of Huddersfield Golf Club.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Neither the wood nor the quarry are shown on the 1850 map; the area was part of Fixby Park. A band of what appears to be good stone is visible.
