Rothwell Country Park

Some beautiful walks around the old pit with a cracking view from the very top then down to the canals where you can get to both sides but as for benches on the towpaths..there isn't any so makes it difficult for old folk to enjoy the scenery.

Great place to have a wander round. We walked about three miles round the outer perimeter of the park and up to the summit. There is a sculpture trail in the park, however the stone sculptures are quite weathered now and some could do with being re-sculpted or replaced. The stone saying welcome to the park is also massively faded it's barely readable. There are loads of butterflies at the park which were nice to see. There's a few ponds, however most were dried up when we visited due to the weather. There's signposts in the country park to follow, though there are only a few of them. One signpost also mentions a maze, but we never saw one. Lots of green space and benches about.

This is a hidden gem I’ve just discovered. Surprised how quiet it is, really good place for a walk and afternoon out. The views from the ‘summit’ are great.

Lovely place to walk, plenty of paths and great views of leeds

Lovely place! Ignore the forest pic, and the big gate! Somehow my pics of a campsite in Dovedale got loaded to this place, and I can't remove them! Nice place to walk a dog, or enjoy the view!
