Christmas Themed Walk in Bingley

Thank you to everyone who came along to our fourth Christmas Themed walk organised on 10th December 2023. Please find below some pictures taken during the day.

We look forward to seeing you all again next year! Best Foot Forward!

Our special Christmas themed walk was very festive indeed! On Sunday 10th December at 10 o'clock, we had a gentle pre-Christmas stroll. We started by walking through Myrtle Park on to Cottingley Bridge. From there we eventually picked up the canal and amble on to the Five Rise Locks. We had to do a bit of climbing (we are in a valley after all!) weaving our way up to the Prince of Wales Park. Once in the park we headed to a seating area where we had a short break.

We've organised a Christmas Walk every year since 2018. From 2019 to 2022, we sang carols along the way at various stations in town. We called the walk a “Jingle Bell Stroll" and almost all our Committee members took part. Oh! And Santa hats, jumpers, ties and earrings were always welcome to add to the festivities!

Despite the rain, 20 walkers went on our Christmas Themed walk. Starting on Riverside walk, through Myrtle Park, on Beckfoot Lane, Wagon Lane, Leeds and Liverpool Canal up to Three Rise Locks and up the snickets to finally arrive at Prince of Wales Park.

By the time they arrived it was a bit soggy wet but a good time was had by all. There, they shared mince pies and mulled wine in the picnic area before they set off back down Park Road.

What a glorious winter’s day for our third Jingle Bell Stroll. Sturdy footwear was the order of the day for the icy conditions as we walked up to 5 Rise Locks along the Leeds Liverpool Canal to Dowley Gap and back along Beckfoot Lane to Myrtle Park.
Along the way we sang carols and Christmas songs at various points and finished off by enjoying a hot drink and mince pies at Tarquins Tea Rooms And Bar Myrtle Park Bingley.

What a success we had for our second Jingle Bell Stroll Carol singing walk! Our walk leaders Linda and Jenny took 41 walkers to Five Rise Locks Cafe, Bridge Bakery & Barista and Tarquins Tea Rooms and Bar Myrtle Park Bingley where we enjoyed mulled wine and mince pie! Below are the pictures taken at each stations in Bingley. Thank you!

We were very pleased with our first Jingle Bell Stroll and we hope you enjoyed the Christmas Carols as much as we did! Below are the pictures taken at each stations in Bingley. Thank you!

For our 2018 Christmas Themed Walk “Paint the Town Red", 14 people joined us to celebrate the festive season – have you noticed the hats! Cedric and Christine took the group in the Cottingley Woods for a 2 hours walk blessed with a gorgeous sunshine. We then finished in the Tarquins Café in Myrtle Park where we had mulled wine and mince pies!
