Footpaths in Leeds: A Verbal and Pictorial Mapping




I've been trying to make a habit of taking a daily walk (which so far is only about every other day) along the footpaths in our area. We've decided to name the four paths we've discovered in our area as Burgess Hall South, Burgess Hall North, (these border the edges of a housing development by that name) the Field Path and the Woods Path. Burgess Hall North is absolute rubbish, but the other three are quite excellent. Today I walked along the Field path, which goes between 2 VERY large fields and makes you feel like you are in Kansas. You can follow it straight across a lane and it connects with several other footpaths, or you can turn to the left and take it to a wooded area where it connects with the Woods Path. This wooded area can only properly be described as a glade and was probably inhabited by Robin Hood and his Merry Men by the looks of it (so Zac and I think). The Woods Path takes you into the playing field and from there up the street to our house.
Pictures are the village as seen from across the playing field, the Field Path, and the Woods Path (not that you can see a discernible path).
