Spring in Bingley, near Bradford in West-Yorkshire, paints the town and surroundings with vibrant colors and renewed energy. Daffodils carpet St Ives Estate while the River Aire reflects the azure sky. Laughter fills the air as families picnic in Myrtle Park and Prince of Wales Park. The Five Rise Locks stand amidst budding trees. In April, the market square bustles with locals and visitors exploring stalls of seasonal delights. By May, Bingley’s countryside becomes a verdant paradise, inviting adventurers to its scenic trails. Spring in Bingley is a celebration of nature’s resilience and the promise of new beginnings cherished by the community.
Planned to introduce non-birders to birds in St.Ives Estate, the walks can take up to 3 hours depending upon weather and the birds. They take place in all weathers so please come ready for the conditions with suitable footwear. Children are welcome but dogs will hinder our chances of getting close to the birds. Open to all and free of charge.
We are changing the format of this walking festival event and we are inviting you to our first Celebration of Walking! Join us on Bank Holiday Monday May 5th for some FREE guided walks for all abilities.
