Summary
The Bradford Millennium Way is a circular walking route of around 47 miles set within the Bradford Metropolitan District boundary. The walk visits many sites of interest within the boundaries of Bradford Metropolitan, including Brontë Falls, White Wells, Cow and Calf Rocks, and Shipley Glen. It also takes in many of the area's small towns, villages, and hamlets—including Denholme, Oxenhope, Silsden, Addingham, and Shipley—as it passes through a variety of landscapes including woodland, farmland, and moorland. The walk was devised by Chris Buckley, Malcolm Hutton, Phil Hatton, Jim Thornber, and Andrew Wood, five volunteers from the Bradford Countryside Service, as a suitable way for Bradford to commemorate the new millennium.
