Rodley Nature Reserve
Rodley Nature Reserve
In a city as crowded as Leeds you might be surprised to find a place so green and full of life. Yet tucked away behind Rodley Nature Reserve is a breath of fresh air, full of birdsong and wildflowers which you would hardly expect in the midst of the hustle and bustle of an industrial city.
On entering, you are met with towering trees with their leaves reaching out to touch each other high above your head, blocking out much of the light and enclosing the path within its shade. A narrow strip of ferns flanks both sides of the path; some more than five feet high! The air is damp and heavy with moisture; even on hot summer days there is always a cool breeze wafting through.
