Connect Yeadon with Slow Ways
We’re creating a network of walking routes that connect all of Britain’s towns, cities and national parks
more walks and reviews are needed to fully connect Yeadon to the verified network. Can you give a hike and help?

Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Yeadon’s Slow Ways.

One particularly tricky road crossing of Leeds Road, which is a fast (40, but feels faster when you are on foot!) and busy road, with not amazing visibility at that spot....
Isabelle Jones
Good surface all the way but be aware of the barriers at each end of the path that may prevent wheelchairs etc. from getting through....

Shame about the short section along the road at this point but the road is quiet and a footpath appears as you approach Esholt. Then out the other side of Esholt, you are briefly back onto an extremely quiet road before heading into the woods. The worst bit is the long drag up the hill to the town centre at the end!...

Wanting to see something green and get away from the busy road, I cut through Nunroyd Park and then along Kirk Road instead...

Great walk through the woods from Yeadon to Shipley - this is the first time I'd walked here despite it being on my doorstep...

It is slightly further than Guiyea One, but the dismantled railway line is an enjoyable path to follow and worth the extra steps....

This is an enjoyable way to walk between Yeadon and Horsforth with a great view across the Leeds from Billing Hill. There were cows in the fields, but they all appeared very used to walkers and were not bothered by us. There are a few stiles....
danravenellison
I really enjoyed walking this route and did not expect the country fields in this part of Leeds. Loved the views....

An easy route to follow using street footways down out of Yeadon, a short length of walking down a lane then into the woodland tracks. After another section of walking along a quiet lane, the slow way crosses fields, then after crossing the river on a sturdy footbridge continues into Shipley along the well maintained towpath....
Ross
Peter's church yard, Rawdon and fantastic views from the trig point near Rawdon Billing. Good facilities at both ends....
Ross
A pleasant route quickly leaving the facilities of Yeadon, enjoying the views across the Wharfe valley and down through the quarry history above Pool. Muddy in places, some rough tracks, stiles and kissing gates, with one fast road crossing....
Ross
The route is direct but mainly on roads. OK for those on wheels....
John Binks
The pathway is severely distorted by tree routes at the Yeadon end - care needed by those on wheels....
John Binks
Taking in the top the The Chevin with extensive views over both Airedale to the south and Wharfedale to the north. The climb down through The Chevin Forest Park can be slippery in wet weather...
John Binks
Easy route on quiet roads, good tracks and a tarmacked cycle route....
Howieland
It is well signposted and on clear paths, through a mixture of gravel paths, pastureland and a steep descent through the woodland down the Chevin into Otley....
Liz Cox
There's a good cafe and public toilets at the White House, half way down Otley Chevin....
