Overview

We will walk through Calverley woods to Apperley bridge, where we cross the road and folow the footpath back into woodland. We will follow the path through the woods towards Fagley. At the old railway bridge, we take the lane towards Stanningley which we will turn off and cross a couple of fields to arrive at Woodhall Lake where we will have lunch. From here we walk a little way up Woodhall Lane before turning off to the right into a field, where we have panoramic views over Leeds. From here we cross a large field to pick up a farm track which we follow almost to the Leeds Ring Road but here we cross another field bringing us back to Calverley.
