Overview

This will be a moderate paced linear walk of two halves. The first half is in the valley and through farmland, with the second half on Burley Moor. We head from Guiseley train station up through the park to the ridge above the town before dropping down to Menston village. After a few lanes we head up to Burley Moor and the Cow and Calf dropping down to Ikley. Views will be awesome if the weather is playing ball but the I can guarantee it will be muddy in places.
