Oxenber and Wharfe Woods
Oxenber and Wharfe Woods is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) within Yorkshire Dales National Park in North Yorkshire, England. It is located 550 yards (500 m) north-west of the hamlet of Feizor. This area is protected because of the plant diversity found across the habitats present that include woodland, grassland and limestone pavement. Grazing has led to the woodland being classified as wood-pasture. This protected area comprises three named woodlands: Oxenber Wood, Wharfe Wood and Feizor Wood.
Plant species within the woodland habitats vary between different soil types present in this protected area. On limestone soils, tree species include ash, hazel, hawthorn and rowan; and herbaceous plant species include dog's mercury, wood sorrel, wild thyme, salad burnet and spurge laurel. On acidic soils, tree species include birch and holly and understorey plant species include bilberry, wood anemone and heath bedstraw. Plant species within the limestone pavement include lesser meadow-rue, northern bedstraw and bloody cranes-bill.
Within the northern section of Wharfe Wood there is marsh habitat where plant species include marsh marigold, bog asphodel, marsh arrowgrass and marsh valerian.

Lawkland
Lawkland is a civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, near the A65 and 4 miles (6.4 km) west of Settle. It lies within the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty but was not part of the ancient Forest or the Lordship of Bowland. There is no Lawkland village as such although there are clusters of farms and dwellings around Lawkland Green and Eldroth.
In 2014 those parts of Lawkland parish north of the A65 (including the hamlet of Feizor) were transferred to Austwick parish. Lawkland parish gained those parts of Austwick parish south of the A65. Lawkland does not have a parish council but does have an annual parish meeting.
The grade I-listed Lawkland Hall lies in the parish, at the centre of a 545 acres (221 ha) estate.
Until 1974 it was part of the West Riding of Yorkshire. From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the district of Craven, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.

Lawkland Hall
Lawkland Hall is a historic building in Lawkland, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.
The oldest section of the building is the west wing, built in the late 16th century for the Yorke family. In 1572, it was bought by the Ingleby family, who in the late 17th century added the hall, east wing and service wing. The house was altered in the mid 18th century, and modernised by J. N. Ambler in the 1920s. The house and 545 acres (221 ha) estate were put up for sale in 2023 for £5.6 million. At the time, the house had nine bedrooms and four reception rooms, while the grounds contained two three-bedroom cottages, Lawkland Hall Farm, woodland, shooting grounds and a pond. The building, along with its garden walls, has been grade I listed since 1958.
The hall is built of stone with a stone slate roof. It consists of a hall range with two storeys and three bays, a projecting gabled wing on the left with two storeys and one bay, a projecting right gabled wing with three storeys and one bay, and a two-storey service wing to the right. The central doorway has a moulded surround and a decorated lintel, and above it is a coat of arms. The windows are mullioned and transomed, some with hood moulds, and to the right on both floors is a small circular window. In the centre of the roof is a dormer with a coped gable, kneelers and ball finials. The left wing has ball finials to the kneelers, and the right wing has crocketed finials to the kneelers and a cross finial on the apex. Running from the east and west of the hall are garden walls about 2.5 metres (8 ft 2 in) high.
Inside the house, there is panelling from the late 1600s and early 1700s, which has been rearranged. There is a late 17th century staircase in the hall, moved from elsewhere, an early-20th century bathroom including a sunken bath, a late 16th century spiral stone staircase in the tower, and a former chapel on the second floor, with a chimney flue rearranged to resemble a priest hole.
