Thackley Esholt Circular

The walk
This is a circular walk starting from the Great Northern pub at Thackley corner. It goes down to the Leeds Liverpool canal through Buck woods and crosses the river Aire where it enters the sewage works (I kid you not) We go through and round the sewage works (much nicer than it sounds) to the Woolpack in Esholt where we have lunch. We then work our way to lower Baildon via Tong Park and back to the finish in Thackley
