	Today's walk is from the village of Farnley Tyas back to my hotel in Huddersfield. Like yesterday, I'm making up my own route. Towards the end of the walk, I'll be walking through the suburbs of Huddersfield. I'm hoping that I've chosen a route that is scenic and doesn't involve too much tarmac. I start at the Golden Cock in Farnley Tyas with St Lucius' Church in the background on the left.

	My trip involves getting up close to Castle Hill and the Victoria Tower. Wikipedia says "The hilltop has been settled for at least 4,000 years. The scheduled monument comprises the remains of a late-Bronze Age or early Iron Age univallate hillfort with a single raised bank, a later Iron Age multivallate hillfort, a 12th-century motte and bailey castle and the site of a deserted medieval village. The grade II listed Victoria Tower on the summit of Castle Hill is by far the most conspicuous landmark in Huddersfield."
