Spring Walking Routes Around Leeds (2026)
Leeds is an underrated base for spring walks. In 2026, these routes stay close enough to the city that you can finish with an independent coffee or a craft beer.
Leeds–Liverpool Canal towpath
Flat, scenic and easy to shorten. Start near Granary Wharf and wander as far as your legs allow before hopping a bus back.
Roundhay Park loop
One of Europe's largest city parks — perfect for blossom season. Combine lakeside paths with a stop at the tropical butterfly house if the weather turns.
Meanwood Valley Trail
A greener corridor through the suburbs that feels surprisingly rural. Ideal for a weekend reset without leaving town.
Refuel afterwards with one of our favourite coffee spots in Leeds or browse museums in Leeds if showers roll in.
