stunning views over Saltaire and Baildon. A very pleasant walk with a good mix of terrain, including a lovely stint alongside the River Aire and stunning views over Saltaire and Baildon. Some footpaths are overgrown and parts are inaccurately plotted on non-existent paths and requiring diversions.

Horsforth Station to Leeds Station
A route of three sections: quiet wooded pathways criss-crossing the railway, a tedious middle section of road walking beside a busy road, then a delightful ending through Burley Park and along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal towpath with the River Aire alongside and leading right to the station. Ends along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal towpath with the River Aire running parallel. Greener than many people expect for an urban route.
Easy: 9km, moderate ascents.
Some wooded sections would not feel appealing or safe walking alone at night, particularly for solo women; one long stretch beside the busy Queenswood Drive.
