Ken Goor has been leading walks in West Yorkshire for many years. Join him for a ramble that celebrates Leeds 400 through some beautiful countryside on the outskirts of the city.

You will need to use your imagination to envisage Howley Hall the palatial home of Sir John Savile, one of the main architects of the 1626 Leeds Charter that we celebrate this year. The ramble will also take in part of the Leeds Country Way, Birkby Brow Wood, Howley Mill (where shoddy was first produced) and the Mirfield Manor House (now Howley Golf Club). Weather permitting there will be some fantastic views of the South Pennines.
