Long time since I've been to Baildon Moor and today it was fabulous. Great escape from the city below. Parked in cp by Baildon Common Trig. Numerous paths round and over Baildon Hill and Trig taking in views in all directions. About 6km. | Lynnebe | 27/03/2024 |

Maybe some of the late 19th C workers from Titus Salt's enlightened Saltaire model village and textile mill down below in Shipley climbed up here to enjoy their encouraged recreation - or maybe they were too busy enjoying the provided education, library , reading room, gym , concert hall, billiard room or even the science laboratory (?). Site is now an UNESCO Heritage site. We took the popular amble from the car park to N. Orienteered on here years ago -criss crossing the hill. | Chris Pearson | 25/07/2016 |
