At the end of Colliers Lane is a track leading towards Roundhay Park. We'll cross over the A6120 using the pedestrian crossing/traffic lights, then continue across part of the golf course into woodland. We'll walk around part of Waterloo Lake, then have a look at the exterior of The Mansion. We'll stop for lunch with a view of the lake (bring your own lunch).
We continue to the Castle Folly, and follow the sculpture trail to Park Lane. The link below has details of the sculptures, the trail is described in the opposite direction to our route.

We will meet on Colliers Lane at the bench overlooking fields. Gateland Drive and Blind Lane (both accessed from Colliers Lane) are wide roads, where it should be possible to park, but they are residential so please park considerately. There is some roadside parking available on Main Street close to the junction of Colliers Lane and the Red Lion pub. The walk will finish at the pub. There is a bus stop close to the pub.
