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.

Eccup Reservoir is the largest body of water in Yorkshire. It's classified as a Site of Special Scientific Interest due to its abundance of rare plant species that protect over 150 important bird species. It's surrounded by stunning woodland and features a network of well-marked trails, and is the perfect location for a family-friendly waterside stroll.

Eccup Reservoir was constructed in 1843 but extended to its present size in 1897. It's owned and managed by Yorkshire Water. The reservoir and surrounding area are a SSSI for the flora and waterbirds which breed here. The around the reservoir path is about 8km and popular with local walkers and families.

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

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.

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.
