   Beautiful park and gardens. Connects easily to Meanwood park and there is a walkway under the ring road heading towards Adel and Golden Acre Park.

   A truly wonderful place to visit. Lovely walks around the woods and glorious rhododendrons along with other plants and many different trees. A babling stream winds around the park. Magical.

   One of my all time favorite walks due to the beautiful forested walks and the wonderful flower gardens. Furthermore, the tennis courts are a particular favorite of mine.

   Great place to go for a restorative walk. Peaceful and calm. Easy, short walk to Meanwood Park cafe and back.

   Fantastic parkland near Far Headingley. Small, free car park, tennis courts, formal gardens and woodlands which are said have inspired J.R.R. Tolkein's Lord of The Rings, when he worked at Leeds University

   Beautiful woods that feel very unique for the area. Lots of beautiful rhododendrons and a wonderfully kept plant garden which you can sit in.

   Having not visited the Hollies in around 15 years, we found ourselves wondering why we had left it quite so long. The Hollies constitutes a mature arboretum, forest walks and stream-side trails that run along a stunning heavily wooded ridge of above the Meanwood Valley park. It also includes some formal gardens and tennis courts open to the public. The trails run a linear 2km towards the ring road but with the wide variety of paths that criss-cross up and down through the canopy it's possible to walk up to 6 or 7 kms if so desired. The main path is accessible to all, with the steeper forest paths much less so. This park is a wonderful forest retreat not 3 miles from Leeds city centre and feels rural enough to be somewhere in the Yorkshire dales albeit predominantly temperate rainforest in feel. Definitely recommend a visit whether you are a local or a visitor to the city and if you're lucky you may even find the redwood glade hidden away amongst the Douglas fir!!
