This is a lovely 4 mile walk inspired by our wildlife walk. Firstly along the River Aire with a chance to see deer, herons, almost always ducks and if you are lucky a kingfisher! Then you will follow a narrow path, with several stream crossings, through beautiful woods (walking poles or a stick would be useful) finishing with great views over the Aire Valley when you reach Altar Lane.

On this challenging 8-mile walk, you will see some beautiful scenery and a bit of history. Starting with a steady climb up Altar Lane we will stop at Druid’s Altar to admire the views of the Aire Valley. Then we’ll make our way towards Harden Moor to find a prehistoric stone circle before walking through the lovely hamlet of Ryecroft. From there, we’ll go down into the Harden Valley, have a stop at The Malt and then back towards Bingley via Bank Top, Black Hills and Beckfoot.

Join Helen and Phil, qualified INWA instructors and founders of Discover Nordic Walking for an hour’s taster session in Myrtle Park, Bingley. Nordic walking poles propel you forward helping you walk further, faster, and with greater efficiency, giving you a wholebody workout. It offers a low impact exercise suitable for almost everyone. Wear trail walking shoes rather than hiking boots, poles will be provided but sadly dogs and Nordic walking poles don’t make a great combination.
