Beech tree in Honley Wood

The name 'Honley Wood' is perhaps a bit misleading, as it does not appear on old maps and the wood is very small, whilst Honley Wood towards Meltham to the west is large and well-known. It is owned by the Woodland Trust, who were given it by The Huddersfield Photographic and Antiquarian Society on the 18th March 1988. The public have free access, and it is shown as 'access' land on the 1:25000 map. There is a steep slippery slope down to the riverside, and the path that was created has become overgrown. This beech tree is mentioned in the management plan ( http://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/woodfile/448/management-plan.pdf?cb=7589c2e02eaf4a07b67cbd3afa113129 ). There is a wooden platform in the tree, probably not installed by the Trust.
