Overview

A moderately challenging 9.25 mile walk using a variety of tracks & paths. The route takes us from Holmfirth through Netherthong, the first of the two Viking villages we visit today, onwards and upwards to gain extensive views at Wolfstones Heights. The path continues through woodland down to Meltham golf course eventually following a delightful path along a stream to join a bridleway rising to meet the A635. The route returns to Holmfirth via our second Viking village of Upperthong.
