Leave the nature reserve the way you drove in. Cross A6025 and turn left along footway. Turn right onto gravel bridleway which bears left. Just after house fork left up bridleway. Where walled path bears sharp right take an 11 o'clock direction, slightly downwards and through trees to pick up a path and pass a stone post. At way-marker post bear right and at second way-marker bear right again heading for and along a trough. Pass to the right of a mound and between large stones.
To continue a footballing theme, Elland Park Wood is set on a south-facing bank above the town like a grandstand overlooking the pitch. I kicked off my walk in the wood on a golden late autumn day when there were far fewer leaves on the trees than on the ground and clogging the Hebble & Calder Navigation which provided my return route. Look out for the ruins of the Woodside Mills, once five storeys high and, in 1890, the largest flour mill in Yorkshire. Its arches make it look like a folly.
Leave some time too to explore Cromwell Bottom Local Nature Reserve on the site of a former quarry and power station ash tip. It consists of 74 acres of varied habitat including flower meadows, dry and wet woodland, a lagoon, a pond dipping platform and bird feeding areas. Look and listen out for kingfishers, oystercatchers and curlew.The Tea Monkey, Elland. Cosy corner café with two floors established by two former school finance colleagues in March 2021.
