Take on a hike in the magnificent grounds of Harewood House!

Explore one of Yorkshire's most breathtaking estates with the West Yorkshire Trail Hike, a scenic walking and hiking challenge set around the magnificent 18th-century Harewood House. With three distances available: Half Marathon (21k), 13k or 8k this event offers an inspiring outdoor experience for walkers and hikers of all levels.

Your adventure begins along the peaceful Wall Side Plantation, where woodland paths guide you gently upwards to Sugar Hill. From here, you'll be treated to sweeping views across the sprawling estate, rolling parkland, and the Yorkshire countryside beyond.

The route continues towards the well-known Emmerdale filming set, a unique highlight that brings a touch of Yorkshire culture to your hike. From there, the trail leads to the impressive Eccup Reservoir, West Yorkshire's largest body of water. This serene, wildlife-rich stretch offers expansive views and a perfect moment to enjoy the calm of the countryside.

The return journey winds through Carr Plantation and Piper Wood, an enchanting network of woodland trails filled with towering trees, birdsong, and vibrant seasonal colours. Passing by Harewood's tranquil lakeside, you'll enjoy one last moment of serenity before the finish line welcomes you back to the heart of this beautiful estate.

Every participant receives a high-quality medal, finisher's goodies, and a refreshing drink, the perfect celebration after completing this unforgettable Yorkshire hiking challenge.

The Harewood House Hiking Event is not just a hike; it's an unforgettable experience that combines the joy of walking with the splendour of nature.
