This area covers the hillside above Baildon Green and runs east to the main road between Baildon and Shipley and east to almost Shipley Glen. The stone face on the hill has been worked and quarry spoils are in evidence.
Small trees such as silver birch have reclaimed the area along with brambles.

All three woodpeckers have been recorded but this is a really good site for Green Woodpecker. Ants amongst the boulders are an obvious attraction to this species. Kestrel and Tawny Owl also take advantage of the crevices. The small trees dotted about ensure that most woodland species are seen such as Greenfinch, Chaffinch, Bullfinch and Tit family.

Woodcock rodes the area and Jays, Nuthatch and Treecreeper stray from the Shipley Glen Wood into this area. The bank sees good numbers of Swifts hawking during the summer whilst winter brings Fieldfare, Redwing and Redpoll searching for food. With a good number of birds recorded, it’s not surprising that Sparrowhawk is sighted regularly.
