We are the Leeds Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

Starting at 'Go Ape' in Temple Newsam, we walk down towards the M62 motorway and past Skelton Lake, then on to the River Aire and Calder Navigation towards Woodlesford. Coming up for air we cross the busy A642 Wakefield Road with a further short walk on the canal. We then turn up towards RSPB St Aidan's Nature Park. We'll stop for lunch somewhere around this point, though may decide to stay on the river bank to partake of a riparian lunch!! Hyacinth Bucket did this! Once through St Aidan's we head back towards Temple Newsam again crossing the Wakefield Road, nearing the end of our walk with wonderful views of Temple Newsam House.
Plenty of parking at Temple Newsam - charges apply - card only. On bus routes. Toilet facilities at TN and at Skelton Services. Mostly flat circular route - just one or two very small inclines. Weather forecast likely to hold and be warm. Ground is currently hard under foot - if we do get rain it could be muddy! Post walk either TN cafe and an ice cream or visit the Brown Cow pub!
