Summary
The Brighouse Boundary Walk is a circular footpath which was created in 1993 to celebrate the centenary of the former Borough of Brighouse.

On Hartshead Moor it links with several other long-distance paths, namely the Brontë Way, the Calderdale Way, the Kirklees Way, and the Spen Way Heritage Trail. From start to finish and when taken in an anti-clockwise direction, the walk visits Bailiff Bridge, Green Royd, Norwood Green, Wynteredge Hall, Jum Hole Beck, Dark Lane, Bank Top, Milking Hill, Ashday Hall, Cromwell Bottom, the Calder and Hebble Navigation, Strangstry Wood, Elland Upper Edge, Ridge End, Fixby, Toothill, Bradley Wood, Woodhouse, Kirklees Cut, Bradley, Hartshead Moor, and Clifton.
