Surveys

We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.

Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.

Help people know more about this route by volunteering to submit a survey.

This is a fabulous route. The only reason I have not given it 4 stars is because it's not fully accessible... but if I could give it an x-factor star for being great fun and beautiful I would!.

Loved walking this route. Such a pleasure. Some stunning views too.

It would be great if someone could suggest another route option that is both easier and more accessible. This route is full of obstacles and some significant elevation to walk up too.

This skirts along the edge of Ilkley Moor following the established Dales Way/Ebor Way, trundles through Menston (another railway station if needed) and ends in Guiseley. It is safe, but not suitable for pushchairs or wheelchairs. There are numerous paths on Ilkley Moor so to avoid getting distracted, keep Moor Road in view. The short road walk in Guiseley is not beautiful, but look out for the clock tower in Netherfield Road car park which is all that is left of the Crompton Parkinson Factory (demolished 2006). The factory started in Frank Parkinson's garage in 1908 and became an international outlet for industrial electrical motors and light bulbs. Frank gave money to the University of Leeds for the iconic Parkinson Building.
