This is a paved all the way and an easy walk for all. Enjoy the heritage of the bygone railway age as you pass through several tunnels and sights of former stations. Keep an eye out for the signs of where they used to be sighted by spotting old platforms, stairways and the odd lantern enroute. The route runs parallel to the M606 and actually crossed the M62 on an old railway bridge, there aren't many walks that cut over a major motorway! Follow the route and enjoy the art installations, including sheep and many call backs to the old usage of this stroll. Follow this through Cleckheaton, Heckmondwike, Liversedge and on towards Dewsbury where at the end of the walk you can join the river walk into the centre of the town.

The site of the former Verona fathers catholic seminary now a world renowned school for those with profound challenges, looking across at the historic Kirklees estate from which the Metropolitan Council took its name but which ironically is outside their boundaries. We cross the River Calder on a former toll bridge and site of a historic ford, taking in views across the wider Pennines and on a clear day the power stations and Goole Docks to the East.

It is also the birthplace of Hollywood legend Sir Patrick Stewart famous for playing Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek; The Next Generation. So why don't you boldly go and try out this great walk.
