Devised by the Burley Bridge Association (BBA) and Ramblers Lower Wharfedale, the Yorkshire Heritage Way is a recreational footpath between the centre of Bradford and the centre of Ripon. It also links the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Saltaire and Fountains Abbey and goes through some of the best scenery that West and North Yorkshire has to offer. This includes a wildlife-rich green corridor close to the middle of urban Bradford, to upland moor landscapes with extensive views, stunning wooded valleys with cascading streams, and past dramatic geological formations such as Brimham Rocks. The route also connects two beautiful and historic cathedrals. There are also loads of bridges to cross including the 13th century Butterton Bridge near Sawley which features on the waymarks along the route. The Wharfe can be crossed in Burley in Wharfedale either by the stepping stones or by Denton Bridge depending on water level and the guidebook covers both options.

Materials
The guide begins with a short introduction giving an overview of the route and its features. The route is then described in detail in five stages with subsections. The detailed route description has numbered paragraphs with the numbers shown on an Ordnance Survey 1:25000 scale full colour map with the route clearly highlighted by a corridor of two red lines bounding the OS green path line, but not obscuring it. The book also contains numerous attractive colour photographs and has a forward by Colin Speakman.
