We walked this stretch in July 2016. My friend, Julie, joined me and we started from East Riddlesden, near East Riddlesden Hall (a National Trust property) and walked approximately six miles to Shipley.

This is my second purpose walk when I decided that I will walk the whole of the Leeds and Liverpool canal. The weather was mixed but on the whole enjoyable. We passed Crossflatts, took a comfort break at the Five Rise Locks Cafe in Bingley and passed Dowley Gap Two Rise Locks and Aqueduct,. We walked through Hirst Wood to reach Saltaire (a village with World Heritage Site Status) and finished at Shipley Wharf. At Shipley we caught our bus back to Leeds.
