Crossed over the Bridge to the Canal

The river on one side and the canal on the other simply wonderful

Colne Bridge is an 18th century, Grade II listed stone arch bridge spanning the River Colne between Bradley and Kirkheaton. Its history dates back to the 12th century, when a bridge at this location was recorded in the Fountains Abbey archives. The bridge lent its name to the surrounding village and Colne Bridge Mill, which tragically burned down in 1818. Notably, historian Ted Ruddock suggested that Colne Bridge may have influenced John Smeaton’s design for the Blackfriars Bridge in London.

This charming forest path winds through Whitley Wood. It's especially beautiful in spring when the bluebells and other flowers are in full bloom.

This pretty stone bridge spans the Huddersfield Broad Canal, featuring a gentle incline that allows for easy cycling across.

Not accessible due to being on land owned by Water Yorkshire.

Welcome to the starting point of the Huddersfield Broad Canal, where you will encounter the first lock of this picturesque waterway. As the canal branches off from the meandering River Calder, you will be greeted by the sight of a former lockkeeper's cottage lovingly transformed into residential housing. There is a green grassy patch adjacent to the river too, which makes an idyllic spot to relax, unwind, and enjoy some lunch.
