Heritage Trails
In 2008 the Baildon Local History Society contacted Baildon Parish Council and asked about producing Heritage Trail booklets based on the walks that the History Society sometimes conducted people on. The History Society showed examples of what they had put together.
PDF versions of these walks can be downloaded from documents section the Baildon Parish Council web site.
The first six walks were made available, free of charge, from various places in Baildon including the library. Demand was high and the first 600 had all gone within 3 weeks.
These pages here will eventually include the images from the booklets and links to other pages and images to create a wider experience.
