We might not get to enjoy a white Christmas in Leeds this year, but there are plenty of beautiful winter walks on our doorsteps.

Whether you’re taking a Boxing Day stroll or blowing off the cobwebs on New Year’s Day, we are lucky have a wide variety of routes to choose from.

From nature trails and longer hikes to family-friendly parks, these walking routes are perfect for getting out in nature over the festive period.

If you’re a seasoned walker who wants a full-day challenge, then the 20-mile Dales Way Link is the perfect route to take. Set off at dawn to journey through Leeds' northern greenspaces, the market town of Otley, through valleys and up into the Dales at Ilkley before sunrise.
