Pubs/Cafes
The Millers Bar in Brighouse is a great place for refreshments. It's located on the Calder and Hebble Navigation Canal slightly off the route. There's a good menu and a lovely canalside beer garden to relax in on warmer days. From the garden you can also watch as climbers dare to risk the UKs tallest outdoor climbing wall, ROKTFACE which is located right next to the pub. It's a fine, award winning place and can be found at a postcode of HD6 1EB for your sat navs.
In Bradley you could try the White Cross. Standing at the busy Leeds Road, Bradley crossroads the inn is a multi-award winning pub. It dates from 1806 and has a good menu and a beer garden to relax in. You can find it close to the canal at postcode HD2 1XD.
Near here there's also The Royal and Ancient. The pub dates back to 1780 and does a fine Sunday lunch. You can find them at Colne Bridge, 19 Dalton Bank Road, HD5 0RE.

Quarry Track and Footpaths in Strangstry Wood. The footpath junction lies on the Brighouse Boundary Walk on the descent to the valley floor. The Footpath Arrow marker is visible. On the left of the footpaths is, what seems to be an old quarry track leading from workings adjacent to Boothroyd Lane down to the disused Tag Cut on the Calder and Hebble Navigation. I have yet to determine the nature of the stone blocks , which appear to be part of the track.
