The Great Northern Trail is a work in progress, but the completion of the first section over two spectacular viaducts opens up the potential for day rides in this beautiful corner of Bronte country.
Cullingworth can be reached from Keighley railway station with a four-mile ride on minor but hilly roads. At Cullingworth you pick up National Route 69 for a short but glorious stretch of railway path, crossing first Cullingworth and then Hewenden (Grade II listed) viaduct, with spectacular views across this wooded valley. Although there are plans to extend the railway path via Denholme and Thornton to Queensbury, it currently ends just south of Hewenden viaduct.
