Coming Up - Our Next Event:

Goit Stock Bluebell Walk – Wed 14 May, 2-4pm

This is a gentle linear walk in a great wood up to Goit Stock Waterfall to appreciate the beautiful bluebells. This is a fantastic time of year when the woods and flowers come to life in perfect harmony. The path is very flat with great access until after the caravan park, where it can get rocky and muddy underfoot. Terrain approaching the waterfall is very unsteady and has a staircase at the very end which is optional to climb. Plenty of parking on Wilsden Road. Meet at the entrance to Goit Stock Lane, where Wilsden Road and Harden Lane meet, opposite the Malt Shovel Pub (BD16 1BG). What3words location: “volunteered.wasp.slack”
