Dalby Forest
Dalby Forest is situated on the southern slopes of the North York Moors National Park.
The southern part of the forest is divided by a number of valleys creating a ‘Rigg and Dale’ landscape whilst to the north the forest sits on the upland plateau.
Although comprising mostly of pines and spruces there are many broadleaf trees such as oak, beech, ash, alder and hazel, both in the valley and on the ‘Riggs’.
Clear streams arising in springs run north and south out of the forest. A lake has been created at Staindale.
