We absolutely love St Ives estate for dog walks as there is endless routes, short or long, which makes it interesting every time. As well as walks around the pond, through the woods and across the estate’s golf course, there is also a large field which is perfect for training and a good run about for our cocker spaniel pup. We often finish our walks off with a hot drink to go (because of COVID-19) and the only downside to this post walk treat is how busy it is!
It’s got plenty parking with multiple car parks, kid-friendly with wooden sculptures to hunt out and a large children’s park and is free entry and parking.
Photos from our pup’s first walk (she’s tiny!!) and multiple other visits.

St Ives Estate in Bingley is a great place to walk. There are a variety of different walks, toilets, a cafe, a play area for little ones and a big field which is perfect for playing fetch. If you walk to the top of the estate you get great views of Bingley, and Keighley. Theres plenty of parking on the estate but the council have now introduced parking charges starting at a £1 for the first hour. Its free to park before 9am and after 5pm. The estate has a diverse lanscape ranging from Woodlands with streams, the field, moorland and memorial woodscape. If your lucky you might even catch a glimps of the local deer.
