Whale Rock
Nature preserve
👍👍 Wonderful place to walk, start at Meanwood park and end at the small Whale.
Ok it's just a rock but open your eyes and see, nature beats intercity every time

RSPB St Aidan's
Nature preserve
👍👍 Absolutely beautiful scenery, lovely to walk round (choose your route carefully, the long route is a lot further than it looks!) Plenty of parking for £4 all day, or if it's busy you can park on the road outside. Friendly staff in the little cafe which is reasonable.
Lots of birds to see, depending...

Bower's Lake
Nature preserve
👍👍 Lovely spot for a wild swim, warm, calm water with shallow edges and a gentle gradient in.
I've been coming here for some time, and they've just installed a very handy bike & clothes drying rack neatly camouflaged as a nonsensical signpost

Kirkstall Valley Nature Reserve
Nature preserve
👍 Even on a wet miserable day it is a joy to walk out with my walking group through the reserve listening to bird song - the reserve changes with the season . Walking lifts the soul.

Letchmire Pastures
Nature preserve
👍 Nice park. Could do with some more big trees in the park. It's a bit to open in places.
