Time to explore our bridleways, greenways and lostways

across wind swept fells, over purple moors and on past wooded slopes at the edge of canal towpaths.

This is not a wild landscape. Meadows, pastures and farms remind you it is a working landscape with trails along walled tracks and between fields of corn.

But its not a tame landscape either with many miles of trails between swathes of heather, blocks of limestone and furrows of peat.

The two routes take you on every type of trail imaginable. From smooth gravel on reclaimed railway cuttings to weather beaten slabs of millstone grit on drovers lanes and twisty moorland singletrack.

Into villages, towns and through the centre of thriving cities

past our industrial heritage

and back out on the hills and moors.

The Headwaters Trail, the Source to Sea Trail and the Calder Divide Trail link national and local trails to many miles of hidden trail gems that take you to remote places where 10 of Yorkshire’s key rivers rise.

The Headwaters Trail takes you to the source of the River Calder, River Aire and River Don whose waters powered some of the first mills and forges of the Industrial Revolution.

The Source to Sea Trail takes you from West Yorkshire to North Yorkshire and back as you navigate along the high Pennine moors where Bronze Age burial mounds mark the tops and ten rivers emerge to flow east into the body of the North Sea.
