About
This 62 mile circular path loops around Leeds through countryside and villages, never more than 7 miles from the city centre. It is described in four parts of about 15 miles, passing Harewood, Barwick-in-Elmet, Methley, Fulneck and Rawdon. The official start is at Golden Acre Park, but any short section makes a good walk.
