Walks in West Yorkshire

Immerse yourself in nature.

Dogs are always welcome at Oulton Hall, and we’ve taken some of the stress out of planning activities with a furry friend in tow. Here’s a few walks in West Yorkshire you can go on, by yourself or with man’s best friend… 

BRONTE WATERFALLS

1 hour drive 

Roam the moors.  

Haworth, known for being the residence of the Brontë sisters, has some truly stunning landscapes. Located on the Moors said to have inspired the setting of Wuthering Heights, this walk is best done anti-clockwise, so you walk down the steepest hills, rather than up.  

Dogs are welcome but must remain on leads.  

Time: 1.5 hours approx

WESSENDEN MOOR & BUTTERLEY RESERVOIR 

1 hour drive    

Feel rejuvenated.   

Be on the lookout for wildlife on this beautiful Yorkshire walk through the northern edge of the Peak District. You’ll see lots of different birds, and maybe even a few deer if you’re lucky. You can also fish on part of this trail, but only if you have a license.  

Dogs are welcome but must remain on leads.  

Time: 2.5 hours approx

SWITZERLAND OF YORKSHIRE

1 hour drive 

Spend the morning in the countryside.  

This area is widely known as the ‘Switzerland of Yorkshire’ for its stunning landscape. This varied trail will put you to the test with lots of steep sections and twists and turns along the way. But, if you’ve got nothing to do, you can take your time and dedicate a morning or afternoon to this beautiful trail.  

Time: 4.5 hours approx.

SECRET WATERFALL & PRIESTLEY GREEN

30 minute drive 

Take a dip in nature.  

Famous as one of the UK’s best wild swimming spots, this trail is best undertaken in summer to make the most of the freshwater swimming spots. The trail can be walked or biked, if that’s more your speed. Perfect for a morning hiking in Yorkshire.  

Dogs are welcome but must remain on leads.  

Time: 1.5 hours approx
