We are blessed to have some gorgeous walking routes just a stone's throw away from the city centre.
Here, we've rounded up 13 of the best paces for a walk on this long Bank Holiday weekend:
1. Otley Chevin
Walkers can enjoy spectacular views across the market town of Otley from the Chevin, which boasts a large park network of woodland paths and panoramic views of the Wharfe Valley.
2. Hawksworth Wood Circular
This 5.1km, easy-going route leads through woodland, across Kirkstall Forge station footbridge, along the Leeds and Liverpool canal and back through woodland alongside a river. With a little detour, you can take in the stunning Kirkstall Abbey on the way.
3. Rawdon Billing
An ideal short walk for those limited on time, or during a lunch break from work, this two-mile circular route around Rawdon Billing offers everything. Varied terrain, wide open spaces and exposure to the elements means this walk is far from straightforward, but remains a popular route for many.
4. Ilkley Moor Circular
Just outside of Leeds, but worth including, is the stunning circular walk around Ilkley Moor. The 5.1-km loop trail starts at the Cow and Calf pub and takes in Lanshaw Delves, and Cranshaw Thorn Hill,
5. Tong Circular
This five mile Tong Circular route straddles the boundary of Leeds and Bradford, travelling from Tong Hall along the bridleways of Pudsey Beck and Tyersal Beck, before looping back through Black Carr Woods.
6. Meanwood Valley Trail
The Meanwood Valley Trail is seven mile linear walk runs from Woodhouse Moor, along the Meanwood Valley through to Breary Marsh, next to Golden Acre Park. Meandering through pretty woodland along a relatively flat route, it is fit for all abilities.
