One of twenty events of Friends of Ilkley Moor Events & Learning Programme, the work is organised by Bradford Council Countryside Rights of Way Service.
Richard Perham (Countryside & Rights of Way Officer) who leads the work said “We have installed about 30 steps and surfaced them with sandstone. Five Friends of Ilkley Moor have been involved in the work so far. The path is identified for improvement as part of Bradford Council’s Rights of Way improvement plan. If funds allow I plan on surfacing the rest of the path, part of which follows the drive leading to Ben Rhydding Hydro from Hangingstones Lane.”
