Woodhouse Ridge/ Meanwood Valley Urban Farm circular walk led by Richard Bojanowski
November 20, 2022 @ 12:00
Woodhouse Ridge/ Meanwood Valley Urban Farm circular walk (3.5 miles) led by Richard Bojanowski.
Meet 12 noon at Peel statue (across road from Wrangthorn Church), Hyde Park corner, Leeds 6. Even on Sunday there are plenty of buses every hour to Hyde Park corner.
We will cross over to Cliff Lane and skirt around delightful Art Nouveau Gothic, Cliffe Lawn House (now Wat Buddharam Buddhist Center), and see where Atkinson Grimshaw lived as a young man in this leavy neighbourhood.
Then we descend gently down Woodhouse Ridge, via the large wood sculpture, and cross Meanwood Road to the Urban Farm, where we initially greet the Alpacas (who welcome visitors on Sunday).
Then we will “travel in time” on the Farm Geological Trail where there are also good spacious green views of valley.
Option to have refreshments at Urban Farm cafe, or at Hyde Park corner, at end of walk.
We return via a different gentle slope up Woodhouse Ridge (I would suggest having cafe refreshments at end of walk).
