Can you walk from Silsden to skipton along the canal? There’s a right of way shown for some of it, but not at other sections- but is there a towpath along which there’s accepted access, or would it involve going through endless fields full of livestock....?

Towpath all the way.

Towpaths are an interesting throwback. All are now well used and popular paths- most are mixed use, but until recently you needed a licence to cycle on them ( honoured in the breach, mostly) and before that, many were barred completely to the public as they were industrial working locations. CRTs focus for them is now completely on open access( with consideration for others) so with a very few exceptions they are non statutory ROWs

In reply to toad and Sir Chasm:

thanks very helpful- that’s tomorrow’s walk with the kids sorted then...
