Fryston Country Trails

Fryston Country Trail

Spanning 65-hectares and providing enticing meadow and woodland to walk, run and cycle, Fryston Country Trails offer a wonderful showcase of green space in Castleford, opening up educational and learning opportunities that include an outdoor classroom and river wharf.

The Land Trust owns Fryston Country Trails and since September 2013, we have been the Managing Agents.

The site began as a reclaimed colliery. Now transformed to create large open meadows, and wetlands. We are developing woods, and recreational space. As well as extensive paths and bridleways.

Our Countryside Park Rangers team manage the spaces helping to enhance the natural environment.

Events include:

  • educational workshops
  • events and open days
  • conservation volunteering
  • health walks
  • nature walks
  • habitat and wildlife surveys
