Milner Field – Bingley’s Hidden Secret

Eight miles of river, woodland and ruins - and a mansion that was cursed. We will follow the ruins of a lost Victorian mansion through the heart of Bingley. The Milner Field Walk is an 8.1-mile circular route from Bingley town centre, taking in the River Aire, ancient woodland, open moorland and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. The walk’s centrepiece is the hauntingly beautiful ruins of Milner Field Estate – the lost Victorian mansion of Titus Salt Jr, whose story of grandeur and misfortune is one of West Yorkshire’s most fascinating. The route is graded moderate and suits confident walkers: you will earn your views here, with several climbs including a long pull up onto the moor above Gilstead. But the rewards, from the Milner Field ruins to the panoramas over the Aire Valley, more than justify the effort. Along the way we will cross six bridges, pass through four distinct woodlands, climb to almost 200 metres above sea level, and barely lose sight of Bingley throughout.
