Cow and Calf river circular
Details
We will meet at the train station in Ilkley and walk to the Cow and Calf via the tarn and up a fairly steep ascent up the moor. We will start the walk at 10 am the time the train gets in from Leeds to Ilkley. I’ll hang around for ten minutes for any dilly- dalliers. After some time, we will reach the Cow and Calf and if anyone feels brave enough to tackle the Calf then go ahead! At your own risk though! ;). Leaving the Cow and Calf behind us, we will head to the top of the moorland and hopefully get some spectacular views of the surrounding hills. We will stay on the tops until we reach a path descending to Addingham, passing some dramatic boulders then heading down through fields and some woodland. We will come to a rather horrible road unfortunately which we will need to cross so please be careful here. When we reach Addingham we will head back along the river to Ilkley. This walk will be around 11 miles. It is likely to be muddy in some places so please don't wear your finery! Walking boots and waterproofs are recommended.
