This is a brilliant family ride to Kirkstall Abbey from Armley Mills Industrial Museum, taking in some of the spectacular scenery on the Aire Valley Canal Tow Path on route to this Medieval Cistercian Abbey with Museum, Cafe & Gift Shop. The route passes Kirkstall Brewery en route before entering the Abbey grounds. With so much to see it's hard to believe you were so close to the city centre!
