West Yorkshire Walks

Discover West Yorkshire on foot with The White Shire.

Our growing collection of personally walked and recorded routes takes you through countryside, villages, woodland, waterways and historic landscapes across West Yorkshire.

From quieter local routes to walks through some of the region's best-known landscapes, each walk gives you an opportunity to discover somewhere interesting and experience the character of the area for yourself.

Discover West Yorkshire on Foot

West Yorkshire has a varied landscape, from woodland and rolling countryside to canals, rivers, reservoirs and historic villages.

Our walks are chosen because they offer something interesting along the way, whether that's a beautiful landscape, an historic building, an unusual landmark or a story connected to the area.

​

Personally Walked and Recorded

Where we feature a route that we have walked ourselves, we walk the route, take our own photographs and record it using GPS.

Our guides provide practical route information and, where available, a link to follow the walk using Komoot.

Walks With a Story

We believe a walk is more interesting when you know something about the landscape around you.

Where possible, our guides include the history and stories behind the places you encounter along the route.

You can also explore our Yorkshire Walks to discover more routes across the county.

Discover Somewhere Different

We're not trying to compete with established walking websites covering Yorkshire's biggest destinations and long-distance routes.

We're interested in finding walks that give you another reason to explore West Yorkshire — including quieter routes, lesser-known places and walks with an interesting story to tell.

West Yorkshire is part of our growing collection of North Yorkshire Walks, East Yorkshire Walks and South Yorkshire Walks.
