Fordham Dale

The complex of valleys south of Thixendale village and north of the Wayrham CP, provides characteristic examples of a range of chalk grassland types found on the Yorkshire Wolds. Much of the complex is in Region 5. Fordham Dale and Wayrham Dale comprise the extreme SW-tips of the complex nearest to the A166. A PRoW runs through Wayrham Dale from the car park and picnic site but currently there is no means of access to Fordham Dale from a public right of way.
