We are the Midlife Hikers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

A delightful walk through the parkland surrounding Harewood House, around Eccup reservoir and over rolling countryside giving expansive views across Wharfedale.
Fans of Emmerdale will be able to glimpse the film set 🎥 as we walk past. As we go round the walk, we should be treated to snowdrops 🌼, deer 🦌 and red kites 🐦, and at the end we can go to explore the ruins of Harewood Castle 🏰
