Overview

Have you ever been to the secret woodland at The Glen at the back of Rombald’s Moor? The walk starts at Bingley, goes up and then follows the Aire valley Skyline via East Morton, with great views up the valley. After a muddy section, we reach lunch and then head into the Glen. This is a delightful wooded valley ending at Sunnydale. From here we head back to East Morton and the canal back to Bingley, briefly stopping to admire Bingley Five Locks, the steepest staircase locks in the country.
