ギルダーサムでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Nan Whins Wood in Cockers Dale is a narrow strip of woodland following the Tong Beck. It's a brilliant woo for a short walk with a trail that runs along the valley and then back on the higher ground.

Beware of alien! Will steal your bike!

They love a good paddle

Don't walk in trainers, we both learned the hard way. Next stop hiking boots. Lovely morning walk to start the new year.

All that remains of a once proud and grand Elizabethan country house. Today, the ruins are a nice little place for an explore or a cheeky scramble. Built by Sir John Savile towards the end of the 16th century, the house passed from the Savile family to the Brudenell family, though the latter showed little interest in its inhabitation or upkeep. To save on maintenance, the house was demolished using gunpowder in the early 18th century.

To the East of West Leeds Country Park is a well maintained and picturesque range of footpaths along the length of the Becks from Cockersdale into Farnley/Hough End. Reasonable parking at both ends and a good selection of paths, so you can avoid having to walk the same footpaths in both directions for most of the length.
