Overview
Roundhay Park is one of Leeds' premier outdoor spaces and a treasure trove of natural beauty and unexpected secrets. On this self-guided walking tour around one of Europe's largest parks, you'll discover the intriguing history and fascinating stories that many visitors miss. Designed to be step-free and wheelchair and pushchair-friendly, the tour starts and ends at the main gates on Princes Avenue, taking in the impressive Mansion, Barran's Fountain, ornamental bandstands, and prettiest lakeside paths. Along the way, hear how the park briefly served as an international airport, how Michael Jackson celebrated his 30th birthday here with thousands of singing fans, and the bizarre antics of a Victorian tightrope artist who wowed audiences with his daring high-wire stunts. There are plenty of opportunities along the way to enjoy a cup of tea or treat yourself to an ice cream.
