Explore the Roundhay Two Lakes Loop

Location: Oakwood, West Yorkshire

This loop explores Roundhay Park, taking in both Waterloo Lake and Upper Lake on a mix of surfaced paths and well-used park trails. Gentle climbs and descents between the lakes add a little variety, while the waterside paths and open green spaces create an enjoyable setting throughout. The route passes through mature woodland and landscaped parkland, offering a peaceful escape despite being close to the city. Trail shoes may be better choice in wet conditions.
