グレートアンドリトルプレストンのおすすめツーリングルート

Plenty of water fowl!

Nice track along the river. Watch out for the Deer

nice ride

The River Aire is 71 miles (114 km) long and rises at Aire Head near Malham, and it joins the River Ouse at Airmyn. This is the footbridge that crosses from Mickletown Methley to the Causeway leading to St. Aidans Nature Reserve. It has good views down over the sedate moving River Aire, which is travelling through some beautiful woodland at this point.

Best ridden from Garforth down hill to the bird sanctuary. Go look for the open cast mine digging machine in St Aidan’s and have a coffee in the cafe.

Something that doesn't belong. Near the sign by the pedestrian gate...

Great shots of the wear.

The RSPB site is the main draw but a bonus is the awesome relic of this former opencast coal mine which is the behemoth Walking Dragline Excavator parked by the side of the RSPB cafe. The stretch of walk on the west from the Lemonroyd Marina is a bit dull being enclosed by a wire fence but once the waterways of the bird sanctuary open up, the walk becomes a delight. Easy walking, all on the flat and about 5 miles in length.
