Goit Stock used to be Bradford District's best kept secret, a peaceful, relatively easy walk through woodland, alongside a stream to a beautiful waterfall. Sadly, that is no longer the case and, particularly during lockdown when people aren't able to travel, the hordes descend and the rubbish piles up. Thankfully, when we went early on a Saturday morning, it was pretty much deserted.
