We will be walking the final section of the Leeds Country Way from Rawdon to Golden Acre Park.

The walk is about 6 miles long, will take about 4 hours and consists mainly of woodland and field walking with some rough stone roads.

There are some uphill stretches, 15 stiles, (mostly easy), and some stone steps.

It can be extremely muddy in places so strong waterproof boots are advised and if you have a stick, bring it.

Please bring a packed lunch and something to sit on, and we will have a drinks stop, weather permitting.

Hopefully, we can call in at the Golden Acre cafe and celebrate the conclusion of the LCW!
