Leeds

This is a fantastic route from one of the last remaining examples in Britain of a water-powered mill at Thwaite Mills along the Aire and Calder Canal to the iconic Royal Armouries museum in Leeds.  At 4 miles long this flat route is perfect for families, new and lapsed cyclists.  With so much to see along the way this route is not to be missed!  You return on the canal back to Thwaite Mills taking in the opposite views of Leeds as you return to the start point.
