    This 8 mile walk transports you through a selection quiet fields on your gradual journey to the peak of The Billing. The route passes a fine selection of residences historic, modern, distinguished and rural. At the summit, views reach out in all directions; covering the River Aire catchment, Airport, across the City of Leeds and well beyond.

    Returning takes a steeper descent through history as is abundant around West Leeds. The lower area of Rawdon offers glimpses of fine historic dwellings. Originally constructed by affluent figures who chose to travel by train when the railway line was first constructed.

    The conclusion of the descent opens to the attractive riverside. Tracing the Aire down to the 250 year old Calverley Bridge before our return climb to Farsley.

    About the Calorie Calculator

    Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

    When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

    Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
