Introduction

Down the centre of the Parish lies Woolley Edge, a ridge of high ground forming the highest ground east of the Pennines; Woolley village sheltering on the eastern side looks out across the low rolling countryside with the towers of Ferrybridge, Eggborough and Drax power stations in the distance; to the west, with the M1 in the valley, the villages of Haigh and Woolley Grange face the beautiful Pennine hills, renowned Yorkshire Sculpture Park and the Bretton estate in the foreground, and the Emley Moor mast clear on the horizon.
