Bradford to Ilkley: The Dalesway Link

'The route is along the Canal Road corridor, here expect some surprises with hidden gems of green space, some with long distance views ... Beyond Shipley the route along the Leeds Liverpool canal passes Saltaire village (a World Heritage Site) before leaving the valley bottom at Hirst Wood locks to start uphill through the woodlands of Shipley Glen, before crossing farmland to reach the highest part of the route near the Twelve Apostles stone circle ... Then it's downhill into Wharfedale ... and to the start of the Dalesway long distance walk.'
