Breary Marsh


Breary Marsh is a Local Nature Reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest situated adjacent to Golden Acre Park in Leeds, grid reference SE264416.

As the name suggests, it includes an area of marshland, but also a wet alder valley wood and former birch coppice. It is said to be " a representative example of a wet valley alderwood and associated flood plain fen communities and is the most diverse example known in the county". Wooden walkways are provided over marsh area. It is part of the Leeds Country Way and the north end of the Meanwood Valley Trail.

The site is situated between Lawnswood and Bramhope off the A660 Otley Road. The adjacent park has a large car park and buses run close by from Leeds and Otley.
