there was good accessible farmland over Billing Hill which had long views, and the section to the south of Leeds Trinity University is a particularly noteworthy refuge from buildings. A long suburban road to Horsforth station was relieved by it being downhill and by a bakery....

The central section was through a tunnel of trees along both sides of a (tarmacked) disused railway. Overall it is quite an acceptable route between the two town centres....

Despite occasional signs of approaching a large metropolis, we generally found peace and quiet, notwithstanding having to cross an occasional busy road....

Having descended the Town Street of Rawden past an interesting church, there are a mixture of pathways including the Beechwood crescent houses, skirting the Leeds Trinity University and what seemed like a fascinating ancient byway....

Although Guiseley has the busy A65 running through it, there were many independent coffee shops on the interesting main and side streets....

Once you leave the busy roads of Guiseley, peac3 descends. It is now a nature park, founded by Albert Shutt of the Aireborough Civic Society....

Look out for the interesting gravestone at the gate entrance to Rawdon St Peters and the rather lovely Beechwood estate but most of all the sublime ancient trackway just after Hunger Hill with the flag stones worn down after centuries of foot and horse traffic (this made it worth the 4 stars!). The walk ends up in the busy main street of Horsforth down at the train station....

Michael

A surprisingly pleasant route through urban areas much of which was along a disused railway line converted into cycle and foot path through a nature reserve. Very short route so no real routing problems although without a map you could get lost amongst the many paths available. Very pleasant....

Michael

The route up the Chevin is steep, as others have said, but the views are a good reward and the bridleway on to Yeadon is easy walking. Can get muddy in places due to high footfall....

Sarah

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...

Tom P

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

Tom P

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 a good route!...

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....

pilea

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

Great walk, additional photographs....

Great route. additional photo....

Great route. Additional photo....

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....
