Leeds Woodland Trail - 7.5 miles

NEW WALK!! A pleasant, undemanding walk through wooded areas of Leeds, namely Roundhay Park, Addyman’s Wood, Long Bottom Wood, Gledhow Valley, Armitage Wood & Gipton Woods! Woodland trails dominate this walk and we spend quite a bit of time within the environs of Roundhay Park in areas previously unexplored by yours truly!

Our morning break is at a folly and our lunch stop is in Moortown Park. We traverse urban areas of LS17 & LS8 too where we will also find a Spa House.

The walk will be led at a steady pace: not too fast, not too slow. Please be ready to start walking at the advertised time.

Walk fee: £3. No dogs please. Bring packed lunch/drink/snacks with you.

Start point: in front of the Roundhay Fox pub, Princes Avenue, LS8 2EP.

Parking: free parking on the long Princes Avenue, which cuts through a large area of parkland. Pay & display parking on Mansion Lane running down the side of the pub. Also, if you drive past the pub (on your lhs), you will shortly reach Roundhay Park Tram car park, which is also p&d. Cost for both areas is £4.

After-walk refreshment at the Roundhay Fox, a nice pub with courtyard area at the back.

I have no formal walk leader or first-aid qualifications and the Group does not have insurance. When you RSVP for any walk, you accept that you remain responsible for your own safety at all times. You are required to respect the walk leader and be mindful of the safety of others. Please keep to the pace of the group and don’t go off ahead even if you think you know the route.
