スカークロフトの湖・トップ9

Some parts can get muddy if there’s been a lot of rain, one section by the cafe is very uneven. Mostly flat, beautiful views of the lake. Very popular with dog walkers and runners.

Waterloo Lake covers 33 acres (13.3 hectres) and is a popular place for rowers, with a relative new rowing club that was first started in 2006. There is a walking trail that takes in a delightfully scenic 5 kilometre (approximately 3.1 miles) loop of the park and both Waterloo Lake and Upper Lake.

Just need to be respectful of walkers and dogs You are allowed to ride on the Bridleway parts bUt not supposed to around pond

worth a stop to see the swans and signets

The track around the reservoir is for pedestrians only, no cycling !!

Lots of Greylag geese some pied and grey wagtails

Breary Marsh Nature Reserve is the finest example of a wet valley alder wood in West Yorkshire. Just walking distance from Golden Acre Park off the Otley Road, it represents a splendid escape into nature that's not too far from the centre of Leeds. Paul's Pond is a good place to spot waterfowl and the fortunate may even catch sight of a kingfisher.

A splendid spot for some quiet reflection by the cultivated flower beds and the lovely lake. Spring is a riot of colour, whilst the many heathers on display are delightful from late summer into autumn. The car park off the Otley Road is the traditional start point for the Leeds Country Way, a 62-mile (100km) circuit of the city's rural outskirts.
