Heath Common Circular Walk

If you want to escape to green fields and paths with the kids without having to travel too far this is the walk for you!!

 

Essential Information

• Parking / Travel:
  • Heath Common, Wakefield, WF1 5SL
  • Large free car park
• Buggy Friendly: A sling or carrier would be the best option as some footpaths are across fields

• Other Info:
  • Kings Arms pub is a great lunch or dinner spot after the walk!

 

This is a 4 mile circular walk from Heath Common which goes up to Goosehill and returns past Kirkthorpe Hall and Half Moon Lake.

 

It’s a great walk for a crisp winters day and the Kings Arms would be a great place to finish the walk off (when we’re able to eat in pubs again!). You really wouldn’t think you were just a few miles from Wakefield City Centre.

 

Wakefield Council have produced a PDF route and map and Muddy Boots Mummy has a full description here as well as a shorter 2.5 mile route too.
