1.
Start from the lay-by on the Keighley Road. There is usually a large green
van (Breakfast Bites) serving all day breakfasts here. There are several paths up to the canal tow-path from the curb side. Take the widest, and clearest. Turn right onto the path, and head towards and under the bridge.
2.
Pass through a pleasant shaded area, with the canal on your left. After
some time, a swing bridge on your left, then the path veers round to the
right. Later, Kildwick looms up and over to your left. Eventually a swing
bridge on your left. Do not go over this, but pass through two sets of large
wooden gates, set either side of the bridge, keeping the canal to your left.
3.
Now arriving at another bridge, marked 186, we go through the metal kissing
gate at it's right side and (although we turn left and go over the bridge)
first enter the gates of the churchyard, over on the right, by way of a
pleasant distraction. 
4.
Take time out here to wander around the site of the church. You will find
some unusual paving stones, as reminders of the lives and deaths of the
local inhabitants; there is a beautiful clock, within the tower; a magnificent
door to the right of the main entrance; and on the outside perimeter are
the remains of the public stocks, and an ancient sun dial. Circa 1668. 
5.
You may now refresh yourself at the local pub opposite (The White Lion)
before we move back through the churchyard, and cross the bridge. Take the
pathway to the left of the lych gate directly in front of you. 
6.
The stone covered pathway is paved all the way to the top, with a stream
running down over to your left, and you come out of the tree shaded lane
between three heavy stone slabs. 
7.
Continue to follow this path upward, and go through another stone gate,
this one had a recent accident, and a limb from the tree above had torn
from the trunk. However, the council have since fixed this, and it is no
longer dangerous. 
8.
At the top, you will reach a path. You may choose to detour the few hundred
yards, uphill to the right, just to take in the grandeur of Kildwick Hall.
and its gardens.
9.
We now return back down Grange Road and, opposite Starkey Lane, is a footpath
on the right marked by a signpost. Turn right into this lane. 
10.
Not long in, there is a small wooden gate, that forbids mountain bikes and
horses. As you pass through this, notice the woven branches on your left.
Follow the stony path uphill, keeping a dry stone wall on your right. 
11.
There is now a steady climb uphill and onto Kildwick moor with beautiful
views all around you. Pass an old quarry on your left, go through a rather
dilapidated gate, and pass a creaking but functional bench. 
12.
Keep to the main path and continue forward at all times. Ahead you will
eventually see the Jubilee Monument. Once at the top, there are extensive
views all around you. A few feet past the monument is an inscribed stone
on the occasion of the Silver Jubilee of King George V dated May 6 1935.
13.
Once you have taken in the wonderful views around you...make your way past
the inscribed stone on your left and the monument behind you...down the
pathway touching the edges of Farnhill moor. At times this path is both
steep and could be difficult in wet weather, so proceed with caution. At
one point there is a crossroads of this path, but just continue forward,
and keep to the main path at all times, finally reaching the road, by Wood
Cottage. Turn right and follow the road. 
14.
After about a quarter of a mile there is a signpost at a fence for a public
bridleway, and a stone stile, on the left. Climb here, and bearing at a
sharp angle to the left. Make your way downhill along the bridleway. 
15.
Next going through this open gate, and head down towards the bottom left
of the second field. 
16.
Having reached this next gate, you can go through and turn sharp right,
where you will now be able to see a gate, and the canal in the distance.
17.
Go through this next gate, crossing the swing bridge to the other side of
the canal, and turn left. 
18.
This leaves you a very gentle stroll back to your car on firm and level
ground, with the canal on your left, and the road over to your right, reaching
your final destination just before the bridge in front of you.
