17/06/2026 We get the directions for a lot of our walks from guide books. Sometimes they are very good, others have some really good sections. This was the latter. Once we left the houses behind we crossed over a recreation area then through multiple fields and then a wooded path between two fields, before probably…

Luddenden
14/06/2026 – Walk The Worlds To Rights This was a relatively straightforward walk, climbing up the side of the valley then on to the head of the valley and then back again. It had a lot of road walking, but the roads were very quiet, and there was always a view. After leaving the car…

Woolley
This is possibly the only walk I wish I had done wearing headphones. The walk itself was nice, but there was no escaping the traffic noise. The walk started from the very picturesque village of Woolley. The walk followed a green lane to the brow of the hill then crossed arable fields. Often with a…

Ilkley
This was a walk with Walking the World to Rights. The walk started at the outdoor pool and made its way through the town to the river. After a climb through town it was a long flat section with views over the valley. Crossing several fields on styles we then reached the only significant climb…

Lindley Woods
Or More accurately Lindley Woods Reservoir. This was a a walk basically in three parts, uphill over fields, downhill on roads and then level along the side of the reservoir. The first part of the walk was pleasant. Mainly through rolling farmland. It was almost the definition of a nice walk. Nothing exceptional just a…

Then it was a walk initially down a lane towards Earnshaws, before branching into the woods. Then…

Leathley
Leathley 16/07/25 – With T and J A circular walk taking in three hamlets near Pool in Wharfedale. After a very unpromising start when we had to walk around 300m along the road with 60mph speed limit and no paths, the walk developed into a very pleasant walk. Primarily the route took us through farmland,…

Swinstry
A circular walk from Swinsty around three other reservoirs. The walk itself includes some great vistas, different woodland types, field perimeters, a crag, a little road walking and 4 reservoirs. The only thing really missing is a riverbank section. There was some climbing but nothing too arduous under normal circumstances (a bit of effort with…
