Spen Valley Greenway Metal Sculptures

Highlight • Monument

There are lots of interesting artworks made from scrap industrial metal along the Spen Valley Greenway. You can rest your legs on a hand-crafted metal bench and throw away your picnic waste in a unique rubbish bin.

The flock of ‘Swaledale Sheep’ made from recycled industrial scrap by Sally Matthews are one of the highlights on the way. The impressive sculptures overlook the green rolling hills of West Yorkshire.
