Great little access road that skirts the edge of Eccup Reservoir and is part of the West Yorkshire Cycle Route It's virtually traffic-free and joins up with other tracks and bridleways to form a loop around the reservoir.
While you're there remember to look up and keep your eyes open for Red Kites. These raptors were saved from the brink of extinction when a release site was established at nearby Harewood House in a joint partnership between RSPB, English Nature, & Yorkshire Water.
