Overview

The walk starts at Hazelwood Castle Hotel and then onto Aberford and the long track along the disused railway (passing Nellie's tree)to Garforth golf club. We cross the golf club to join the Leeds Country Way which leads to Barwick in Elmet. The walk is muddy in places so walking poles and gaiters are recommended and no dogs please.
