The Leeds Liverpool canal that runs through Skipton is a great place to walk. Last year the paths were upgraded by Canals & River Trust so the towpath is even more perfect now. Whether its for walks, runs, or a bike ride the towpath is the most accessible walk you will find. The thing we […]
Ilkley is such a great town to visit. It is one of our go to places when we have some free time as there are shops, cafes, the park, Middleton Woods (best place around for bluebells), the river and of course the moors. This is probably the best moors around us locally, Ilkley Moor has […]
Location: Main car park, BD23 5LB Distance: 1km Linton Falls is a beautiful spot on the River Wharfe near Grassington. The Falls is a series of waterfalls with the main one under the footbridge very dramatic. It is a fascinating place to visit at all times of the year; in the summer for a swim […]
Location: WF43 4LG Third time lucky for our day out to Yorkshire Sculpture Park and my oh my it was worth the wait! Even driving through the fog I was thinking “what am I doing?!” And nearly turned around but I’m so glad I didn’t. I booked online in advance for £6 per adult and […]

Location: Riverside car park, BD23 6AN Distance: 3.4km Pram friendly walk Strid Wood is the easiest walk in Bolton Abbey and the most accessible. It is a brilliant short walk packing a lot in. The Strid itself is a must see. Starting from the Riverside car park the walk starts on the same side of […]
Location: Village car park, BD23 6EX Distance: 1km This walk is really short so perfect for little legs. It’s probably more of an explore than a walk. Parking in the Village car park head out past the shop to the hole in the wall. This will lead you down steps to the footbridge over the […]
Our favourite place This is our number one place to visit. This is home. I grew up here, went to school here, worked here in my teens, got married here. Now I’m exploring it even more than ever with my Little Man so he grows up appreciating it too. There are so many walks that […]
Location: Main car park, BD23 4DA Distance: 4 miles Link to route here (red line). Gordale Scar is a huge limestone gorge. It really is quite something as you approach it and feel its vastness. There is a waterfall at the top and it is possible to climb up the rocks either side. I’ve never […]
