Walk: Farnley Hey and Castle Hill
A wonderfully exhilarating walk across the countryside to the south east of Huddersfield. The Route what3words for start point: ///each.shiny.else Start Point: Bus stops on Ashes Lane / Longley Lane, Huddersfield HD4 6TE Finish Point: HD4 6TE Distance: 4 Miles GPX Route Map walkshirefarnleyheyandcastlehillDownload Walk Description From either of the two bus stops on Ashes Lane, walk away from the side road of Longley Lane, and turn left down Clough Hall Lane. Walk all the way down the lane and turn left at the stile. Follow the hedgerow on the right and when the gate into the next field shows on the right, continue straight ahead with a wall on the right and tidy hedgerow on the left. Follow the boundary of the fields until you join a snicket which leads to Wheatroyd Lane. Turn right and follow Wheatroyd Lane almost to its end, where you’ll see a gap in the well-maintained hedges on the left. Take this and follow the clear path around the edge of the trees to reach an access road for a house. Turn right and walk all the way down this access road until you reach Lumb Lane. Turn left here, and then right at the junction with Sharp Lane. Carefully follow Sharp Lane, as there isn’t a pavement, and follow it as it becomes Bank Foot Road. Just after crossing Lumb Dike on a bridge, turn right down an access road clearly marked with a public footpath sign. Take the clear through route between the various buildings, and follow this visible path through the trees and into the wood. Go through the wood, and when you emerge, turn left to follow the boundary of the fields, keeping to the left of the hedgerow when it appears. Pass through the trees at right angles, and continue to follow the boundary of the fields, until a diagonal path is visible crossing the field on the right side of the boundary. Join the access road at Fernley Hay, and around half way down it, turn right following the public footpath sign into the field. Follow the clearly defined path through the field, which passes between three trees before turning slightly to the right. Follow this path into the next field and then head to the right. As the access road turns to the left, turn right down the public footpath between walls. At the junction of paths, go left slightly and continue to follow the wall on the right in a heading taking you to the right of Castle Hill. Eventually, you reach Lumb Lane over a stile. Here, turn left and follow the road around the side of the castle past the laybe on the left. Turn right and climb the steps to the top of the hill to look at the impressive castle tower. Head past into the car park, then turn right down the access road, and then left down either of the paths off the access road. At the junction of paths, turn right and head to the left of the collection of trees, and then follow the boundary of the fields to reach a lane, which eventually returns you to Clough Hall Lane. Turn left, walk up the lane, then turn right to head back to the bus stops.

Follow the canal as it makes it's way up through the Pennines to Standedge tunnel which cuts through the hill side on it's way to Manchester. The Route what3words for start point: ///song.snacks.miss Start Point: Huddersfield Finish Point: Standedge Distance: 21 Miles GPX Route Map huddersfield-narrow-canalDownload Walk Description Starting in central Huddersfield make sure you take the time to spot the beautiful buildings of a bygone age. The canal is dotted with repurposed warehouse and factory buildings that relied on the canal for supplies and goods. There are excellent narrow locks to safely explore and hopefully see in use for that amazing photo. This is a long distance walk so we suggest you break it up into manageable chunks dependent on your walking ability. The contrast of the countryside outside of Huddersfield is stark as those industrial buildings give way to the stunning views of the Pennine footholds and the lovely villages such as Slaithwaite. You'll also be rewarded with a wide range of bird life nestled into the canal's ecosystem such as plover and curlew. The walk finishes (for Yorkshire) at Standedge tunnel, the deepest canal tunnel in the UK.

The Route what3words for start point: ///flat.noted.bucket Start Point: Castle Hill Side, Huddersfield HD4 6TA Finish Point: Castle Hill Side, Huddersfield HD4 6TA Distance: 2 Miles GPX Route Map castle-hill-huddersfieldDownload Walk Description This walk can be started either from the train station at Berry Brow or the carpark on castle hill. The Castle Hill tower is Grade II listed example of late Victorian architecture. The paths are well maintained but the walk is exposed to the elements so dress accordingly to the weather conditions. The site, although dominated by the tower, has been occupied for thousands of years and you will discover the remains of iron age settlements as you take this walk as well as WWII anti aircraft battlements. The unique history and uses of this site make it pretty unique in the region. Once at the top the views of the Holme Valley are stunning, especially on a sunny day.

The walk is a feast for the eyes and the intellect, offering unparalleled views of the Holme Valley that you won't want to miss. Sartorial Considerations: Dress for the Elements While the paths are well-maintained to ensure a pleasant walking experience, be mindful that this trail is fully exposed to the elements. We strongly advise dressing appropriately for the weather—windbreakers for gusty days, sunscreen for sunlit afternoons, and comfortable, durable footwear are all recommended. A Portal to the Past: Unearth Layers of History Castle Hill is a historical palimpsest, offering layers upon layers of intriguing human stories. As you wander through this ancient space, your footsteps will cross over the remains of Iron Age settlements that bear silent testimony to the area's long history of human occupation. Adding to the depth of your historical exploration are World War II anti-aircraft battlements, connecting you to a relatively more recent, yet equally significant, chapter in human history. The Victorian Grandeur of Castle Hill Tower Dominating the landscape is the splendid Castle Hill Tower, a Grade II listed epitome of late Victorian architecture. The tower stands as a lasting tribute to the aesthetic sensibilities and craftsmanship of an era gone by, adding a layer of refined elegance to this already fascinating walk.
