This ramble is a jewel which begins in north Leeds in the suburb of Alwoodley. Drive along Alwoodley Lane and park up on the verge or at the side of the road near to the public footpath sign near the map reference SE305408. Look closely and you will see a lane leading north to an avenue of trees. This leads you across Sand Moor golf course and to a walk in pleasant quiet countryside along leafy lanes, quiet roads and tracks on a circumnavigation of Eccup reservoir. During this super two hours walks take some time to look into the air. You will be unlucky not to spot the magnificent Red Kite, re-introduced to the area in 1999 and now thriving.
