Overview

This is a repeat of a walk in May this year.  A short ramble starting in Farnley Hall Park before dipping into Nan Whins Wood and Troy Dale. After heading north through the trees a steep climb brings us up to the top of Post Hill and then back to the park.  Free parking is available at Farnley Hall, with the 42 bus also getting within reach of the starting point.
