Overview

Ilkley circular climbing up to top of the moor following Dales High Way to Landshaw Lad and following the path to Whetstone Gate (passing the Trig point  and  Timble Stones as we go).    We then take the  Keighley Road passing Cowpers Cross before taking the path that takes us to  High Crag.  We  return to Ilkley  following the Millennium Way passing the Swastika Stone.  Lovely views on a clear Day.  However, it will be boggy in parts.  Poles may be advisable.
