Post Hill – Leeds

Post Hill is a designated Leeds Nature Area on the western end of Farnley, and partly in Pudsey. It is situated mostly east of Pudsey Beck and Farnley Beck, between Wood Lane in the north and Troydale Lane in the south, and forms part of the West Leeds Country Park.^[1]

The area of 28.04 hectares consists largely of a hillside covered in woodland and some grassland. Openings offer views across West Leeds, in particular from the top of the hill which at an altitude of about 125 m a.s.l. is one of the highest points in the local area.^[2] The site is protected by Fields in Trust through a legal “Deed of Dedication” safeguarding the future of the space as public recreation land for future generations to enjoy.^[3]
