MetalMelly-
The whole area is made of ponds and parkland all reclaimed industrial land and rail lines. Some is quite rough but not in a scary way. It has really got busy since start of lockdown. Once upon a time I could have it to myself. Three possibly four RSPB reserves in that area of the Aire Valley. Red kite, cormorant, heron, grebe, little tern readily spotted.

Quite a story and shows the power of open cast coal.
It links in with the canal and woodland paths and can easy do 20 plus miles all off road with barely a mile of linking road.
