Walks Mapped by Us
Every walk featured on our website has been carefully mapped using Komoot, ensuring accuracy and ease of navigation. These routes aren’t generic; they are chosen, tested, and recorded by us, so you can follow with confidence knowing the paths have been walked and experienced first-hand.

Stories of the Local Area
Alongside each mapped route, we provide a short description of the local area. These notes bring the walks to life, offering context about the villages, landscapes, and heritage you’ll encounter. Whether it’s the history of Pontefract, the quiet lanes of Ackworth, or the rolling countryside around Wakefield, each description adds depth to the journey and connects you to Yorkshire’s identity.
Why We Share These Walks

Walking is about more than reaching a destination. It’s about noticing the details — the stone walls, the woodland paths, the changing skies — and understanding the stories behind them. By mapping routes ourselves and writing about the local area, we aim to make each walk both practical and inspiring, a guide and a narrative rolled into one.
