Rodley Nature Reserve Walks
This walk explores the Rodley Nature Reserve in Leeds. The wildlife rich reserve is located a few miles west of the city on the River Aire.
The wetland area is a great place for bird spotting with several species of migrating waders and wildfowl to look out for from the on site hides.
There's nice river paths and the option of continuing your waterside walking along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. You can follow the Leeds Canal Walk to the reserve from the city and then continue east to visit the historic Kirkstall Abbey. The peaceful woodland trails at Calverley Woods are located just to the west.
