Meanwood Valley Trail

Reviewed By speedbird350 - Leeds, United Kingdom

Confession: prior to 2019 it had been 30 years since we’d been to Meanwood Park. As youngsters in the ‘70s we’d forage for wild mushrooms for homemade pies and soup. Roll on the years and what an absolute delight to go back especially these days. Not too busy and more then enough space for young families, prams, buggies, toddlers learning to ride on two wheels. Playing poo sticks and paddling in the beck. The kids love it and the dogs love it more. There’s quite a few dogs playing and enjoying themselves and never seen an abandoned dog pile so it’s very clean and safe. On top of the park is the playground ( currently closed for Covid) and just the most beautiful walls along the trail. More than ample space for picnics: plenty of shade if it’s v sunny and in normal times the cafe is a godsend. If you’ve never been or like us have left it far too long why not pop down and thoroughly enjoy it and relax. Too good to miss.

This section is a dream along the river through gorgeous villages. We stayed at The Buck Inn in Buckden, very walker and dog friendly

Walton Colliery Nature Park

Reviewed By 0chloes - Ossett, United Kingdom

PLEASE POCK UP YOUR DOG POO! Me and my boyfriend often come to walk our dog here, when went in January it had been snowing the day before never thought it would be as icy as it was, most of the walk was skating on ice, great fun! Just be cautious... We have also brought the dog in summer, beautiful and peaceful walks, you could fetch a blanket and picnic and sit near the open water canal, it would beautiful. -I always pick my dogs poo up but a lot don’t and leave it on the path, I can understand in long grass and you can’t find it. But leaving it on the path is disrespectful and rude. If you can’t pick up after your dog you shouldn’t have one.
