We walk along canal and riverside paths before crossing a road to reach Tong Park.

We head up through fields and woodland to reach the trig point on Baildon Common.  Then up again to reach the trig point on Baildon Moor.

After a fairly steep descent via a series of steps, our return to Saltaire is via pavements.
