We shall start our Siddal walkthrough from the top of Water Lane where the Shay-Syke station used to stand.

From here (The Shay roundabout), down Water Lane and underneath the old Shay Syke station

Travel down towards the bend at the bottom of Trooper Lane and we reach the side of Mackintoshes on the left, the cobble Trooper Lane straight forward and we bend right past Stoney Royd

Back to the main road. Cross Keys on the left and Whitegate Road on the right

Turn off the main road here to the right takes you to lower Siddal valley where many old warehouses and businesses still exist. It is also a way of getting to the hidden pub that is the Shears at Paris Gates.

We then come to the old school site on the right and St Marks church on the left

Looking downhill with the Rose and Crown sign visible

Looking uphill with Rose and Crown half way up

Siddal Place

We look back where we came from here but the main road carries on through the village. Carry on the main road or double back to the right takes you back down to the lower Siddal valley, 2nd right takes you down to the bottom of Salterhebble or turn left up the steep Cinderhills and Rosemary Hill towards Southowram.

We doubled back to the right and are now at the bottom of the hill looking back up it.

Lower Siddal Valley

Back up to where we left the main road and up Cinderhills to Rosemary Terrace
