Starting from our roadside parking on Gynn Lane, we enter Cliff Wood, emerging on a residential street in Brockholes and continue on past Brockholes railway station. The route follows the railway line for a short time before ascending across country to Farnley Tyas; joining the Holme Valley circular walk. Farnley Tyas has a nice church and if time allows we can have a short stop.
