Next Walk : Saturday 14th March 2026

Our leaders for March are Alex and Don and the walks are from Ilkley in West Yorkshire.

A walk (10.5 miles)

The A walk, led by Alex, is a circular walk of approx 10.5 miles on the famous Ilkley Moor. Following the Dales Way Link we pass the Twelve Apostles stone circle before reaching the cairn summit of the moor, standing at 402 metres. Crossing over to Rombalds Moor we then descend to meet the Dales High Way and Millenium Way and return to Ilkley.

B walk (6.5 miles)

The B walk, led by Don, is 6.5 miles. This is a picturesque circular walk and is a mixture of riverside, field and woodland paths together with quiet country lanes. Some of the paths are particularly muddy, so walking poles and gaiters are advisable. The walk starts from the Riverside Gardens and follows the Dales Way path alongside the River Wharfedale. We pass through the hamlet of Nesfield before returning to Ilkley. This is not a completely flat walk, but there is no great height attained.

Both walks may well be boggy or muddy so sticks will be useful.

Ilkley is a spa town in Wharfedale, West Bradford, with the town centre characterised by Victorian architecture, wide streets and floral displays. It has a wide range of independent shops as well as an abundance of cafes and bars, so something for everyone post walk.

We are a friendly group and welcome any new walkers wishing to join us.
