Walkers are Welcome in Bingley and their supporters organise many walking events in the town and surroundings throughout the year. Check our calendar of walks or the posts below for more information.
Sadly and for obvious reasons we decided to cancel our annual Walking Festival in 2020. However, things are brightening up and we are planning to hold our 2021 Walking Festival on Bank Holiday Monday August 30th. This will of course be subject to Government guidelines. More details will be posted on…

On 1st August 2019 (Yorkshire Day), Bingley Walkers are Welcome are participating in the ‘Step Out’ sponsored walk organised by Cancer Support Yorkshire. This evening walk starting from Cottingley Community Centre is an occasion to raise money for this great charity which helps “local people with the emotional and physical effects of cancer, through counselling, complementary therapies and group work.”
On 14th July 2019, Bingley Walkers are Welcome are participating in the Teddymania event organised by Friends of Prince of Wales Park. For the occasion our usual monthly Sunday walk will be a special family walk. We will take adults and children up to the Park via a pram friendly route.
Here are some exciting guided walks organised in Bingley Prince of Wales Park this year by the Friends of Prince of Wales Park, one of the local organisations linked to us.
This Grade II Historic England listed woodland park has some good formal paths and drives but it is still recommended to wear good footwear as you may walk on tracks through woodland or across the open heath at the top of the park.
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.
For these events you will need good footwear as pathways are often wet and slippery. Also: please bring suitable clothes for the weather. No charge is asked for events but donations to the society are always welcome.
