Overview
Your run begins just behind the services, leading you straight into the peaceful trails of Rothwell Country Park. The route blends woodland paths, riverside sections, grassy trail and a short stretch of road. There’s one friendly climb, but the panoramic view of Leeds City Centre at the top makes it more than worth it.
