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 places for a walk this Bank Holiday Monday.
1. Tong Circular
The 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. Photo: Roger Ratcliffe
2. Eccup Reservoir
Eccup Reservoir offers beautiful views across the water. The route is 4.5km long and passes through woodland and the quaint village of Eccup, over a dam and alongside the Sand Moor golf club. It can get very muddy so take your wellies - but the gorgeous landscape is worth it. Photo: National World
3. 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. Photo: National World
4. Bramhope Circular
The Bramhope Circular walk is a gentle walk that begins at Bramhope, near the Fox and Hounds pub. It is approximately 5 miles. Photo: National World
5. Trans Pennine Trail
You can join the long-distance Trans Pennine Trail route from Knowsthorpe Quay, just 10 minutes from Leeds Dock. The Garforth to Woodlesford section is a particularly scenic part of the trail, offering countryside views. Photo: Terry Carrott
6. Otley Chevin
