We are the Take a Hike Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Urban with green space.

We head through Castleford to Queen's Mill and cross the River Aire by the footbridge. We continue along riverside paths to Allerton Bywater. Leaving the river we head to Methley Junction via streets and fields. We join the Castleford Greenway (disused railway) and follow this to Cutskye - this section is mostly uphill. The return to the start point is via streets and parks.

Instead, about a 10 minute walk away is Queen's Mill, which is where there is a bottle shop that also has some beers on tap (this closes at 5.00pm on a Sunday). A couple of minutes before Queen's Mill is a Wetherspoons pub.

This is where we will meet. The train station is a short walk from here. If you are driving, you will pass this column once you have turned onto Booth Street (a one way street, with free street parking on a Sunday, the car park off Booth Street is also free on a Sunday).
