Itinerary description

This old through route between Ilkley and Riddlesden is an official road despite lacking tarmac in places.

Other than being a bit steep at the North end it's nothing terribly exciting although the views at the summit are fabulous on a clear day

There are a couple of interesting features close to the road and even a lovely bench to sit on for 5 :-)

Waypoints

Southern End Point

From Silsden Road You can tell you're in the right place because the street opposite is called "Ilkley Road

Waypoint

Whetstone Gate

There's a carpark and 3 gates here where the tarmac ends - the road is straight on not to right or left. Signs indicate no off-track activity, but the road is clear and wide. In case of doubt see the green arrow in my first photo below.

View over Ilkley

There's even a bench to sit on just here!

Waypoint

Tarmac North of here

Footpath only to the West but "Unsuitable for motor vehicles" beyond this point going south. :-)

Waypoint

North End Junction with Wells Rd

Here's the Northern end - more tarmac. The sign just asks you to pick up after your dog.
