About this event

Explore the beauty of the Bradford District with a circular walk taking in the stunning views and wildlife on Ilkley Moor, as well as experiencing some of the archaeologically significant secrets of the moorlands.We'll begin from Ilkley, taking a circuitous route along the tarn to the Cow and Calf rocks. According to legend, the giant Rombald split the Calf from the Cow while fleeing an enemy. His angry wife, dropped the stones from her skirt to form the Skirtful of Stones you'll see.From here we'll join the Dales Way link to the Twelve Apostles - the remains of a Bronze age stone circle. Next we'll visit other sites including the Thimble stones, Cowper's Cross, and the Badger Stones before wending our way to White Wells on the outcrop above Ilkley before descending back to town.There’ll be an optional trip to a café at the end of the walk.Dogs: Well-behaved, socialised and under-control dogs are welcome on this event. Dogs should be kept on a lead whenever this is signposted and whenever we are in the vicinity of livestock, and at the event leader's request.If the event is fully booked: Please join the wait list as people frequently drop out during the week before an event and you are likely to get a place on the walk. If this is your first OutdoorLads walk event: If this is your first event, we’ll make sure you feel welcomed.
