Walk: Ogden Reservoir and Overnden Moor
A feast of different landscapes all squeezed into a short walk around the reservoir and the surrounding moorland, just outside Halifax. The Route what3words for start point: ///proclaims.goat.relatives Start Point: Pay & Display car park off A629, HX2 8XZ Finish Point: Car park off A629, HX2 8XZ Distance: 4 Miles GPX Route Map walkshireogdenreservoirandoverndenmoorDownload Walk Description From the car park, walk towards the gates at the far end. Take the left hand pedestrian gate and follow the track through the woods to meet another track at the water’s edge. Ignore the bridge on your left, and continue straight on the track. For a short while, the track becomes a path before joining another surfaced track. Follow this track, keeping the stream on your right. Cross a stile and ignore the two bridges on your right, continuing straight ahead. The path starts to climb steeply uphill for a very short while before reaching a long bridge. Just after the long bridge, climb the stone steps to cross a shorter bridge. Just afterwards, the path bears left towards a stile over a wire fence. Cross the stile and follow the track along the edge of the moorland wind farm, keeping the turbines to your right. Eventually, the path takes you to a bridge over Skirden Clough. Cross the bridge and follow a clear path forwards, where you will meet the wide surfaced vehicle track of Withens New Road. Here, turn left, and follow Withens New Road down to the dam wall. Walk along the dam wall and pass the Visitor Centre on the left. Follow the road in front of you back to car park.
Walk: Great Northern Railway Trail
Enjoy this walk along part of the old disused Bradford to Keighley railway line. This section covers the two stunning viaducts at Cullingworth and Thornton the best examples of repurposed railways routes in the region. The Route what3words for start point: ///decent.repair.talked Start Point: Thornton Finish Point: Cullingworth Distance: 6 Miles GPX Route Map great-northern-railway-trail-1Download Walk Description Opened in the 1860's the route from Bradford to Keighley was known as the Switchback or Alpine route due to the large number of viaducts and tunnels that had to be build to navigate the geography of this part of Bradford. This walk starts in Queensbury where you can see face to face the Queensbury tunnel, at just over a mile long, which is currently at the heart of a campaign to reopen as a walking route to Halifax. Follow the fairly flat route towards Thornton and over it's magnificent viaduct. The views down the valley to the city are simply beautiful. Look out for the school at the viaduct's end, this is the site of the old station. Follow the signs to Wellshead tunnel where you'll need to follow the route over the fields above the tunnels towards Denholme. Once there you'll pick up the route again towards Cullingworth to the even more stupendous Heweden viaduct. This 14 span structure is even more impressive due to it's curve and views over the reservoir and Bronte moorland. The route continues for another mile into the lovely village of Cullingworth where you find a nice café at the village hall for refuelling and a caffeine pick me up. This walk can be split up into separate sections in Thornton and Cullingworth which are accessible friendly.
Walk: Ogden Water
A lovely reservoir walk on the moorland above Halifax. A fabulous place to be tranquil and spot the local wildlife. There is a car park for vehicle users but be careful as it is a narrow single track road on approach so drive carefully. The Route what3words for start point: ///prancing.yoga.shot Start Point: Ogden Finish Point: Ogden Distance: 2 Miles GPX Route Map ogden-waterDownload Walk Description The 34 acre reservoir is one of the largest in the area and the path intertwines between woodland and the water's edge giving you an up close and personal view of the local wildlife. The path is good all the way around but there is a particularly steep section near the start/finish so be careful with accessibility challenges. You will often find boats out on the reservoir from the local sailing club and this adds to the atmosphere of the reservoir. There are several paths to take off the main circular walk but enjoy yourself just finding your own way around. Enjoy a coffee at the excellent café on site to refuel before heading home.
