The B6134 runs to the west of the Yorkshire town of Pontefract.
The road starts at traffic lights on the A639 on the edge of Pontefract, between the racecourse and Tanshelf station, and heads west along Park Lane. There are fields on the left and a golf course on the right before the road reaches the village of North Featherstone, where it crosses the B6421 at traffic lights.
Continuing west there are a few fields (but no change in the speed limit) between North Featherstone and the next village, Ackton. The road TOTSOs right onto Loscoe Lane then right again at a T-junction. It may be easier to continue ahead at the first TOTSO then right at a T-junction (although this route is unclassified) to end up in the same place.
The road goes over a roundabout immediately before crossing a few fields and ending at another roundabout on the A655 Normanton bypass. The road ahead, now part of the A655, is the original line of the B6134 which continued along Pontefract Road into Hopetown, ending on the pre-bypass A655 Castleford Road. The original western end of the B6134 has now been closed to traffic and partly built on.
