Enter the recreation ground and walk away past a play area by the right wall. Beyond a second field, follow a walled track out to meet a road. Go right along Brockholes Road.

After 100yds (91m), turn right down a walled track, with School Wood to your right. Leaving the trees, there is a view of Castle Hill ahead and beyond to Huddersfield. When the track bends right for the second time, towards Ludhill Farm, go straight on along a walled path. Walk downhill to cross a stile next to a metal gate, turn left across a field to another stile, and bear right, descending more steeply through scrub. The way then bends left down to meet Hall Ing Road.

Go right, then just after the terrace of cottages, turn right on a track into woodland. Some 50yds (46m) beyond a gate, bear left onto a narrow path that descends to a stile. Continue across a field, aiming towards a house on the opposite hillside. Cross a stream on stepping stones and walk up through a spur of woodland. Climb another field into the top corner, just left of a house. A path leads to a drive, which climbs left to meet a road opposite High Royd Cottage. Turn right for 100yds (91m), then take a gap stile by a gate in the left wall, a path leads to a gate. Passing through, bear right uphill along the edge of a small plantation. Beyond a squeeze stile in the corner, head diagonally across another small field. Keep beside the left hedge of the next field, until you meet a road by the cemetery.

Go right here for just 20yds (18m), turning left by a broken gate. Go along the field-edge path, later through a waymarked gap to continue, with the wall on your right, towards a wood. Over a stile, keep to the edge of the next field, with a little wooded valley on your right. Leaving the wood behind, head onwards to Lumb Head Farm. Wind through the farmyard and join the access track to meet a road.

Walk left for 300m (330yds) then turn sharp right, signed to a car park, and go up to the top of Castle Hill. Follow a path around the ramparts, then at the far northwest end drop down to the left. After 50yds (46m), fork right. Continue along a track towards Clough Hall, after the woods take the path on the right and follow it around to the right. At a junction of paths turn left, then right on Lumb Lane, then left over a stile towards Molly Carr Wood.

Walk down into the valley, following the wall on your right. Cross a stile and cross a meandering stream, Lumb Dike, on a plank bridge. Climb away to a redundant stile and then turn left to follow the stream, but at a higher level, through Molly Carr Wood. Descend to where two streams meet and follow the combined watercourse along the valley bottom. After crossing a side beck walk on, rising to join a grass track that leads to a gate. However, bypass the gate and continue to a stone stile just beyond. Over that, bear left on a rough track passing behind a farmhouse. It leads around to the far end of the yard, from which a track takes you out to the road.
