Each walk has something different to offer to walkers of all abilities, ages and experience. It is a real chance to see some of Bingley and the surrounding district’s most stunning sights and landmarks. Well behaved dogs on a lead are also very welcome.

Otley Walking Festival 2026

posted in: Walking Events | 0

This long running walking festival is now in its 25th edition! This year there will be almost 50 different walks on offer. Like our own Bingley Celebration of Walking, it is entirely ran by volunteers and like us, Otley is part of the Walkers are Welcome town network. So with so much in common, we are very delighted to be part of the adventure this year by offering to lead a walk for the festival. And as it turns out, it’s not uncommon for the Otley Festival to offer walks outside of the town boundaries. The entire Walking Festival runs from Saturday 27th June to Sunday 5th July 2026, we will have our walk on Saturday 4th July.

Bird Walks at St Ives Estate

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 – please note that there is a car park charge from 9am.
