A varied and beautiful walk, taking in water, moors, farmland and woods around Baitings reservoir. 

Calderdale can be a wet place on winter walks so waterproof clothing and boots are strongly recommended. Bring a packed lunch and warm drink to enjoy in outstanding scenery and good company.

The nearby town of Ripponden has several pubs and cafes to enjoy a well-earned drink after the walk.
