Does anyone know who owns the wooded area between Langsett Avenue and Wadsley Park Village. Would also appreciate any historical information in it as well.

Thanks, but does that also include the land / wood that is within the grounds of the old asylum, it stretches from Middlewood Road to Worrall Rd

Beeley wood is nowhere near Langsett Ave its on the other  side of the valley where the River Don flows Clay Wheels Lane is the road nearest to it. As you travel up to Oughtibridge its the wooded area on the right hand side of the road.
