Millennium Way (Bradford)

Bradford's Millennium Way is a 45-mile (or 72 kilometre) circular walk in the metropolitan district of Bradford, in West Yorkshire. The walk does not enter the city of Bradford, instead exploring towns, villages, countryside and moorland which lie to the north west of Bradford.

Rombalds Moor :: SE1145

Rombalds Moor covers about 90 sq.km. between Wharfedale and Airedale. The highest point is 402m above sea level (grid ref for this shared description). Parts of it also have local names referring to the nearest town, e.g. Hawksworth, Burley, Ilkley, Bingley and Morton Moors.

The moor is particularly rich in remains of prehistoric activity. The most numerous relics are the rock carvings which can be found on many of the boulders and outcrops scattered across the moor. Burial monuments stone circles and a range of enclosed settlements are also known. [source: Historic England, overall description covering several ancient monument sites]

There are several small reservoirs, originally built by local authorities, that collect water from the moors. The Rombalds Water Board was taken over by the Yorkshire Water Authority in 1973.
