Haw Park Wood is a 73 hectare ancient replanted woodland located 4 miles south east of Wakefield. It is adjacent to Anglers Country Park and is only a short walk from the car park, but access can be gained from other points.

Once part of the much larger Don Forest, the woodland has changed greatly over the past 100 years. The woodland is now dominated by conifers with areas of broadleaved trees. In 1981 Haw Park Wood was first designated as a Site of Scientific Interest because of its diverse habitat. In 1992 it was designated a Local Nature Reserve.
