7. Hawksworth Wood Circular
This 5.1km, easy-going route leads through woodland, across Kirkstall Forge station footbridge, along the Leeds and Liverpool canal and back through woodland alongside the River Aire.

8. Eccup Reservoir
This spectacular reservoir - the largest body of water in West Yorkshire - provides beautiful vistas for walking - and there are some good pubs along the way. Take a stroll around the water and, if you're peckish or ready for a drink, call in at The Lord Darcy on Harrogate Road or The New Inn, which is further up on Eccup Lane. | Simon Hulme Photo: Simon Hulme

Located just six miles from Leeds city centre, Horsforth Hall Park is ideal for a gentle stroll. There’s plenty of open parkland to cover and kids can be kept entertained by the various attractions, including an adventure playground, bowling green, cricket pitch and a Japanese formal garden. | Yorkshire Post Photo: Yorkshire Post Newspapers
