Lovely hidden gem in the heart of leeds. Very nice and quiet. Easy flat walk with the children.

Lovely area of tracks by the river Aire and through woodlands and meadows. A pebble beach area and a couple of weirs.

A beautiful place to escape to, though at risk of being ruined by more visitors and the resulting rubbish and habitat destruction. Please respect the wildlife and stick to paths... stay quiet and you'll spot all sorts of wonderful wildlife.

Not ideal for a decent walk. You'll need wellies, the track is very muddy, there's no parking and its only 1 mile all the way round. No room for social distanting if passing people so bring masks. I was disappointed

Even on a wet miserable day it is a joy to walk out with my walking group through the reserve listening to bird song - the reserve changes with the season . Walking lifts the soul.

Went for a look about with my son. He loved it and will be a great place to revisit in Spring/Summer. Weather had been mild so not too muddy but we took wellies just in case. Went down to Armley beach and then continued the circuit. My son even spotted a seal.. (Or so he said) See if you can see its head in my picture.. Looking forward to going back when everything is fresh and bright.

Beautiful nature reserve in a wild corner of Armley (despite the name). There's so much to see here that it is worth a few trips. There's a weir with a beach and a ford on the Aire and then an orchard, pond and sensory garden in the reserve. Paths are well marked. There's not much parking in the road but usually enough. An amazing space in the middle of the city.

Hidden in the deepest darkest ends of the Kirkstall Aire Valley lies this little gem.

Visiting in winter for the first time. It's kind of hidden away and runs alongside a busy railway. Parking is just before a electricity power station just before the railway bridge. It has lots of hidden surprises! In a few months this small place will come to life.. the paths are good but probably hard to get about some places with a pram and wheelchair. There seems to be a nature trail for children that have numbered posts with insects on. It doesn't take long to go around but could spend and hour and a half here especially in the warmer months.
