About

From the atmospheric Victorian ginnels of central Keighley, climbing steeply to the contrasting hill top village of Hainworth where the route offers superb views along the whole of the Worth Valley. Then on to Oxenhope, a typical South Pennine village and terminus of the Worth Valley Railway. Returning along the picturesque Bridge House Valley, between Oxenhope and Haworth, before continuing along the Worth Valley via Oakworth, Damens and Ingrow, back to Keighley.

The walk has been devised by linking existing footpaths, tracks and roads and is best described as strenuous.

Walking boots and good wind and waterproof outdoor clothing is strongly advised. It is essential to carry enough food and drinks to last throughout the day.

Refreshments may be available at Oxenhope station when the trains are running. There are also several food shops and a public house near Haworth station.
