THE RAMBLERS & WAKEFIELD DISTRICT Formed in 1935 to encourage factory workers into the countryside, The Ramblers Association has campaigned throughout its history to maintain, improve and map the walking environment for all users. Today we continue to oversee the footpath network and pursue countryside issues to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all walkers. Adoption by Ordnance Survey of The Wakefi eld Way is another example of the daily work the Ramblers undertake and fund. Wakefi eld Metropolitan District is known for its countryside, farmland and many historical villages. Since the closure of the coal mines in the latter part of the 20th century, the area has boosted its number of country parks, nature reserves, and wildlife areas to 69. In addition to farmland and woodland, this means you are never far from scenic Yorkshire countryside. High among these places of natural beauty is the Yorkshire Sculpture Park at West Bretton. The Wakefi eld Way only touches on some of these areas so there are many more of Leafl ets created by interest within the boundary, for you to discover.
