Walks in the Leeds and Harrogate Area
Almscliff Crag
Almscliff Crag lying between Leeds and Harrogate is an extremely popular outdoors attraction

There is fantastic and varied walking to be found so close to my home in Horsforth, North Leeds. Within a 15 mile radius I can walk in places like Ilkley Moor, Otley Chevin, Harewood, Harrogate and Knaresborough, Wharfedale, Airedale, Lower and Upper Washburn, Nidderdale and Baildon Moor. The Leeds to Liverpool Canal passes by less than a mile from my house and there are lots of woodland and park walks in the pretty area around Horsforth itself. There are lots of interesting Leeds walks and Harrogate walks like the Harrogate Ringway and Knaresborough Round. I am simply blessed with great walking potential so close to home and these pages will reflect those areas as all the walks included on this site will be no more than 15 miles from my front door. The walks include hill walking on some interesting fells, rivers and valleys, tracks around towns and villages, places of historical interest and even a walk on the canal. When I get the time to! Enjoy reading about them and if you live near me then get out there and do some.
