Hardcastle crags from Hebden Bridge
(route)
From Hebden Bridge station head towards the main road across the bridge and turn left into the park before the main road. Follow the park path near the canal and cross the canal at the first opportunity. This path then brings you out at a bus stop. On the opposite side of the road should be a greengrocers (to the left). Head for this and turn up the street here into the pedestrianised area. Continue to the square and head for the main road bridge (left hand side). Cross the road bridge on the right hand side footpath and immediately turn right along a small path which goes at the back of the shop but beside the beck. From this point onwards follow the waymarked signs for the Hardcastle Crags trail (yellow with black arrows). The signs run out at Midgehole when you enter the Hardcastle Crags estate. There are many options for here. The estate road is the easiest way to get to the mill and can be continued past the mill and up the valley. To the left of the estate road is a network of up and down woodland paths which follow the course of the river to the mill and then cross the bridge at the mill and follow the river on the other side. My favourite route would be following the river up to the mill and beyond and then back down the estate road. The return journey from Midgehole follow the same route past the Blue Pig but the footpath you should take should be the one that goes down by the river (not back uphill when we came from Hebden Bridge). Follow this footpath which crosses the river and then through a free range chicken field to a gravel road. Turn left, up the gravel road till you reach the minor road. Follow the minor road towards Hebden Bridge for a short while, looking out for a footpath on the right hand side which leads to a well hidden set of steps on the right hand side. Go down the steps and rejoin the riverside path which you travelled on earlier back to Hebden Bridge. This is a great walk to do by public transport with excellent train connections from West Yorkshire, Manchester, Preston and Blackpool.

Another side to Ilkley and Addingham
(route)
Mixed route of river walking, moorland and woodland. Leave Ilkley Rail Station and head to the river. Follow the Dales Way to Addingham (note that the path does go through the tennis club car park). After Addingham church walk along the road until the Dales Way footpath continue but ignore the Dales Way path and take the path to Beamsley over the suspension bridge. Take the path to Langbar (this isn't the greatest path so you may consider alternatives as it is a bit overgrown and has loads of flies (perhaps leyfield farm and spring well farm routes). At Langbar, walk a short way up the road and then take the farm track onto the moor. The moorland tracks are clear and were ok the day the walk was done (May) but there is evidence they could get fairly boggy. Near windsover farm, take the right fork down to Middleton. Middleton woods are lovely. Walk through the leisure centre back to the river and then back to the railwaystation.

3 Locks, Towpath, Sand, Forest, Meadow, Jungle, Road, Pub Lunch
(route)
From the car park at 3 Locks, walk past the pub along the towpath.
When you get to the Paper Mill Road bridge turn right up the road which turns into a bridleway as you climb the hill.
Cross over the road and into a narrow green path past lakes and up into the woods. Take the Greensand Ridge walk south until you see a path across a meadow leading down the hill.
After crossing the road you will come to a cottage, before which you need to turn right into a permissive footpath.
This section was overgrown (called the Millenium Path, probably not maintained since 2000!) though eventually leads through some fields back to the road.
Follow the road south and right at the island junction back to the car park.
Retire to the pub for lunch.
