Canal boats and crayfish claws at Kildwick

A 5km easy stroll through spectacular scenery along the river and the Leeds/Liverpool Canal.
Start and finish at The White Lion pub (got to be good), past the site where there has been a church for over 1000 years (no typo!), along the magnificent canal built by hand in 1773. Look out for alien invaders and the return of otters before crossing one of the oldest bridges on the river, built in the early 14th century (although it replaced an even earlier one).


Accessibility – mostly unmade paths with a number of slopes and a couple of stiles. Bikes are not allowed on riverside paths. Unsuitable for wheelchairs, etc


We hope you enjoyed your walk, we have many others available to download.
