Overview

We start by walking on the Trans Pennine Trail on an old dismantled railway.  Then under the M62, across fields and through woods to Methley.  You can collect a cricket bat on the way. Listen to the birds in St. Aidan’s and look at the boats in Lemonroyd Marina whilst having lunch.  Then through the woods and across the the fields and maybe see Alpacas?  Finally you can collect your parcel and frozen dinner before coming to the end of the walk.
