The Spen Valley Greenway
Originally part of the Leeds and Yorkshire railway that ceased operation in the late 1960s, the Spen Valley Greenway has now been converted to a cycling, walking and horse riding route.
It is 7 miles long and connects Oakenshaw near Bradford to Dewsbury.
It is partly funded by SUSTRANS, a charity that promotes sustainable cycle and walking paths, and it forms part of the national cycle route 66 that connects Manchester to Hull.
