Overview

Our walk will start in the northern grounds of High Royds, progressing to Derry Hill and down into Menston. From here we walk across lower Burley Woodhead to the old Otley/Ilkley railway line which is planned to become a Sustrans Greenway linking Pool and Ilkley. At Otley Golf Club we leave the greenway for an outside lunch stop at Menston CC.  From here we cross Chevin End and back to the southern grounds of High Royds and the car park.
