Topic : A nice spot for a picnic |
|
| hermione fraggle |
this post has been edited 1 time(s) I have a friend bringing her kids to my house and I want to take them for a picnic. Can anyone reccomend anywhere which a couple of miles which is a good spot for a picnic. It must be friendly and safe enough for little kids as well as us big kids. |

try the 7 hills which is below waterly lane |
|

Nice views of the valley from the area around Lightbank Lane, there are a few places to park a car, and public footpaths worth exploring. |
|

|
| claymoreking |
7 hills are best accessed from the canal on way out of silsden towards ridlesden, or from the footpath off hainsworth road. |

if you walk up north street and turn left near the top, I think it might be breakmoor ave then immediately left it takes you into a field with a stream running through it, it is nice and quiet there and you can continue to walk acroos the water and up the otherside, it is a walk which is in kathy liddle's book. It is called the chairmakers walk |
|
| pumbajunior |
quotewould that be the green 12 silsden walks book if so we will look it up as we have it |
|
| ginjo |
yes its called "discovering silsden" 12 heritage walks by cathy liddle. |

Yes coby1 I often visited the fairy dell took my youngest lad there last summer to show him where we used to play when we were kids.It was all overgrown though we managed to get across to the otherside just. |

I remeber one of you gropers had a black whipet dog and was always on walks so i knew that you still remember fairy dell and the pike pond down by the river that is now filled in. |

| Alan Grop |
Yes our Peter was always walking his dog he knows all the best walks for miles around Silsden. The pike pond now that brings back memories. |
