If it’s your first visit to the area, it can easier to team up with a group where there is someone who knows the area and the landscape and heritage.

The main providers of guided walks in our area

Calderdale Ramblers , the local branch of the national Ramblers’ Association.  There’s a guided walk most weeks at three levels of difficulty and non-members are welcome to sample a walk or two before joining. The Ramblers West Riding website has up-to date details of walks slightly farther afield. All the people accompanying Ramblers walks are very experienced leaders.

Calderdale Heritage Walks are mostly easy walks with an expert guide, looking at a particular aspect of history and heritage, they run from April to October. There is a small charge for joining the walks.

There are several other informal groups which you can usually find through local community Facebook pages.
