Accessibility details

The route is on public pavements with some public road crossings. The first third of the walk is slightly downhill, the middle third is about level and the final third is slightly uphill. The start is from just outside the Manningham Mills main entrance on the corner with adjacent Patent St. No toilets or café - sorry (the Mills community centre closed some years ago due to financial cuts). There are public toilets just over halfway through the walk inside the Manningham public library which the walk goes past (that library is normally open 12-4pm Sundays but is not dependably open).

Additional information

The walk, in easy stages, lasts around 1 and three-quarter hours on public pavements. Free car parking immediately adjacent to Manningham Mills in Patent Street off of Lilycroft Road/Oak Lane (but not in the adjacent private off-street car park). Directions by public transport: 621 bus from Bradford City Centre (half hourly on Sundays, heading in the Haworth Road direction) takes around 15 mins. Ask for Manningham Mills and alight at the 5/6 storey building. Nearest train station is Frizinghall from where it requires a lengthy uphill walk of a mile to the walk start (no direct bus service).
