Ilkley Civic Society is inviting walkers to a ‘Find Your Way around Ben Rhydding’ heritage walk on Saturday 27 December from 11am.
The meeting point is Wheatley Lane, close the Wheatley Arms. The walk should last about 60 to 90 minutes and does involve some narrow paths and gentle slopes. For anyone who wishes, refreshments can be purchased in the Wheatley Arms afterwards.
Ilkley Civic Society walks are open to all, members, non-members and visitors.
It’s not essential to register your attendance. But to be kept informed should plans change due to bad weather, please email localhistory@civicsociety.ilkley.org
