Starting the week with some active travel. Tucked away neatly in the Aire Valley, the Leeds Liverpool canal provides an oasis of calm amongst the urban sprawl of the Leeds and Bradford Districts, winding its way from Granary Wharf to Skipton, and beyond.

🐮 Our resident wildlife are enjoying the brighter spring days, including our highland cattle who live in our nature conservation area Menagerie Wood.

Look out for them near the lake on your next visit 👀
