Hi
Can anyone give me any advice on where I can collect/get for free - pinecones, rosehips, acorns and conkers, in or around Leeds. I need to collect for work...
Thanks so much

Otley Chevin, Roundhay Park, Golden Acre Park.

Kirkstall Abbey near abbey house museum is normally a good conker site! :-)

The road leading into Thorner has loads of conker trees which we used to frequent. Nobody goes there as it is a rural road and you have to park on the grass verge.
Go on the A58 towards Wetherby and turn right towards Thorner and after the first bend you see them :-)

Conker trees near the Mansion at the top of Roundhay Park (just below the car park)

Woodhouse Moor just past Leeds Uni have plenty of greenery there. And as said above, Golden Acre Park.

Or look out for local golf courses because they often have conker and acorn trees..... I remember my granddad bringing me back big bagfuls from his golf playing days!
