Overview

Ilkley circular climbing steeply  up to top of the moor passing White Wells  following Dales High Way to Landshaw Lad and following the path to Whetstone Gate (passing the Trig point  and  Timble Stones as we go.)    We then take the  Keighley Road passing Cowpers Cross before taking the path that takes us to  High Crag.  We  return to Ilkley  following the Millennium Way passing the Swastika Stone.  We will return to Ilkley following the Millennium Way. Lovely views on a clear day.    However, it will be boggy in parts.  Poles may be advisable.
