Description:

The Kirkburton Parish Walks are all between 4 and 6 miles long, and each are set within a village in the parish of Kirkburton, situatedbetween Huddersfield and the Peak District. On each walk you will find a guidestoop, modelled on an old directional post, and depicting some feature of the village. Stop and rest here, and use the stoop to rest your flask of tea.Each walk features a real historical character from the village to lead the walker around the walk. So join us, get some exercise, have some fun with: Billy Sweep - a chimney sweep from Flockton, called The Billy Sweep Saunter Richard Beaumont - a highwayman from Grange Moor, called Beaumont's Bolt The Higgler - a shrewd tailor from Shepley, called the Higgler Hike Albert Fitton - acorseteer from Shelley, called the Fitton Frolic Molly Mangle - the only lady with a mangle from Thurstonland and Stocksmoor, called Molly Mangle's Meander Rev Cutfield Wardroper - the vicar from Farnley Tyas, called the Wardroper Wander Hester's Haunt - the vicar's wife from Kirkburton, called Hester's Haunt PC Dibb - the policeman from Highburton, called the PC Dibb Dash Lizzie Drake - the lovely, but tragic little girl from Kirkheaton, called Lizzie's Lollop Mary-Ann Jessop - the firework maker from Lepton, called Jessop's JauntWe hope we have engaged you, we want children and adultsto enjoy the walks, and to discover all the delights of the countryside!!
