Spen Valley Heritage Trail
Follow the Spen Way through the beautiful West Yorkshire countryside on this splendid circular walk.
Walk highlights include Oakwell Country Park where there's miles of pleasant trails around the historic Oakwell Hall.
To continue your walking in the area you could pick up the Spen Valley Greenway which runs along a disused railway through the valley. It is also suitable for cyclists.

Farm buildings in Gomersal. These farm buildings are at the top of the Rhubarb Fields in Gomersal. The path that goes through these fields is the Spen Valley Heritage Trail.
Oakenshaw Lane. This is the northern end of the old road from Scholes to Oakenshaw. At present it is marked on the 1:25 000 map as an uncoloured road with no right-of-way dashes, along which are the Kirklees Way and the Spen Valley Heritage Trail. Logically it must therefore be a public road. At the southern end it has the character of a bridleway, but a faded sign indicates a public footpath. The farmer has discouraged the 4x4 brigade and fly tippers from gaining access.
