Article and Video - Day Hiking around Shipley Glen and Saltaire in Yorkshire England

Shipley Glen and Saltaire circular day hiking was a 7 mile long trip. My partner Anne and myself undertook this hike whilst on a New Year Weekend Hiking Break in Yorkshire, England, UK during December 2010 with SPICE West Midlands. Steve Dell of Fizz Leisure organized the weekend on behalf of SPICE.

The day hiking trip was actually done on New Year's Day 2011. After leaving our hotel, we had a short walk along the local river and canal before going north through Shipley Glen on the western side and then south on the eastern side of the Glen. Then we went through Saltaire, where we had our lunch before returning to out hotel along the canal and roads.

This was an easy to moderate hike as there was a long gentle incline to cope with. The hike was varied and quite interesting. We hiked along roads, a back alley, along a river and a canal. We also went through woods along a ridge, up hill and down hill but nothing too strenuous. We also hiked over heathland and through a Victorian park.
