Lysander Copse is reached via a good stone track, to the ride-stop entrance where there is space to turn a vehicle. From this point, a path leads off amongst mature and beautiful beech and Scots pine trees, towards a rustic bench set in a small clearing. The wood also contains a few larch trees, the odd oak and sycamore as well as some rowan. Beneath the tall canopy, most of the shrub layer is comprised of holly bushes, which give the wood excellent privacy, along with a plethora of beech seedlings: the next generation. Across the floor are bracken ferns and blackberry, as well as mosses and woodland grasses.

The wood is attractive in all seasons, but it is particularly stunning when the fresh green beech leaves break in the spring, and when the gold and russet tints of autumn infuse the wood with a warmth that takes your breath away, especially when viewed against a blue sky.

At the eastern edge, a wide grassy route runs along the entire length of the boundary, full of dog’s mercury and ferns, and growing wild and thickly in places. There is a clear ditch here, the centre of which is assumed to be the extent of ownership. Beyond this lies grazing land.

Located in the north-eastern corner of West Moor Plantation, near Bramham, it lies conveniently close to Leeds and Wetherby.
