In 2025, various walking groups have collaborated to present a series of 16 circular walks inspired by the Bradford Millennium Way, first introduced 25 years ago. These walks will occur on Saturdays every three weeks from January to November 2025 as part of a contribution to the Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture programme.
Bingley Walkers are Welcome contribution - The Bingley Circular
On Saturday 8th February 2025, Bingley Walkers are Welcome will take you on a moderate 6.5-mile circular walk into the Harden Valley, showcasing the delights of its many wooded areas. From the hilly conifer plantation of Ruin Bank Woods to the quaint village of Rycroft and the wonderful St. Ives Estate, this walk has a lot to offer! And it's just on the doorstep of Bingley, which is easily accessible by train and bus.
