Depending on how confident and fit a cyclist you are, there are a range of destinations that can be accessed by bike from Spring Wood Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A cycle ride into the local centres of Headingley and Horsforth will take around 25-minutes, where you\u2019ll find an array of independent shops, cafes and restaurants. Those working at Leeds Bradford Airport could also enjoy a commute by bike in just 15-minutes, along some pleasant rural roads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many of the local roads are classed as advisory cycle routes on the West Yorkshire cycle network<\/a>. Within around a 15-minute cycle from the site you can be on route 668 of the National Cycle Network<\/a> (NCN), which runs from Alwoodley into Leeds city centre. The route is around 5 miles long and takes just under 30 minutes to ride from one end to the other<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more information on cycling in Leeds visit our useful cycling guides and resources page.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are unfamiliar with the local area and looking to plan a route by bike, an online route planner can be a really useful tool to use.
