MAY is National Walking Month and Bradford Council is encouraging people to enjoy the health benefits of walking at the same time as exploring the district’s great scenery. Many people have taken up walking during the pandemic and with the longer days and better weather, this interest is likely to continue. The Council’s website has a number of downloadable self-guided walks. These take in beauty spots across the district. These include moorlands, canal towpaths, woodland and for something a little different, a ‘Fungus Foray’ at Raw Nook Nature Reserve or ‘Four Pubs and a Sewage Works’ from Apperley Bridge.
