Yorkshire Social Walk

The Yorkshire Social Walk is on Dales Way this Saturday 17 October, a free outdoor social walk along one of the region's best stretches of countryside. It's part of the guided walks that run across Leeds, and this one takes you out to the Dales Way, just a bit further afield than your usual city stroll.

If you're not familiar with how these work, they're guided walks through the local area, led by people who know their way around and can point out the things you'd usually walk right past. The idea is to explore the city and its green spaces while picking up a bit of history and a few hidden gems along the way. They're run regularly, so this is just one of many you can join throughout the year.

They're pitched at nature lovers, history enthusiasts, and anyone who just enjoys getting active outdoors. The routes tend to take you through the lesser-known parts of the city and its green spaces, with knowledgeable guides leading the way. It's as much about the company as the walking, which is where the 'social' in the name comes in — you'll be out with a group rather than on your own.

It's free entry, so there's nothing to pay to join in. The walk is on Saturday 17 October on the Dales Way, near Leeds.
