Burnley Wood is a district of Burnley, Lancashire. In broad terms it lies between Parliament Street in the north and Stoney Street in the south, and from the railway in the west to Todmorden Road in the east. Based on historic definitions of the ward boundary of Burnley Wood it could also be defined as including the more affluent areas around Woodgrove Road area to the east of Todmorden Road, Brooklands Road to the south and the area north of Parliament Street to the river Calder.

Famous quotes containing the word wood:
“Instead of calling on some scholar, I paid many a visit to particular trees, of kinds which are rare in this neighborhood, standing far away in the middle of some pasture, or in the depths of a wood or swamp, or on a hilltop.... These were the shrines I visited both summer and winter.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
