Bagger Wood

Bagger Wood is a 67.56 acres (27.34 ha) woodland in the English county of South Yorkshire, near to the village of Hood Green, about 4 miles (6 km) south-west of Barnsley.

The wood forms part of the South Yorkshire Forest and is within an Area of Great Landscape Value.

Traditionally a wood of broadleaved trees, a large number of conifers were planted at the site in the 1960s.

[1] In 2008, the Woodland Trust began a two-year programme of restoration work to encourage the native broadleaves, using a £10,000 grant from the Waste Recycling Group.

There is a circular path through the wood for walkers, and also a forest track through the centre suitable for horse riders.
