Roundhay Park

After the food festival the other day it seems I am back in Roundhay again.

It’s easy to forget how much Roundhay Park has to offer. It is quite huge, over 700 acres in total.

After being under various ownerships over centuries, Roundhay park was purchased by and for the City of Leeds in 1871, and was Landscaped by George Corton, though the lakes and the Folly predate this.

Between the woods, lakes, folly and the gardens the park is very diverse and always lovely to visit.
