The route follows pavements and footpaths throughout. Whilst the route itself is step free or has a step-free alternative, a handful of Clues require step access and therefore the Trail is marked as being suitable for pushchairs but not wheelchair users.
This is a Dog friendly trail Trail, as long as dogs are kept on leads.

As the Trail leads you through the centre of Bradford there are lots of opportunities for refreshments in the number of cafes, pubs and restaurants along the way. There are public conveniences available in the shopping centres in the centre of Bradford.
Parking:
