'''Section 2:''' Passing playing fields and old quarries, the path crosses the Woodhall Hills and follows Fagley Beck to cross the [[Leeds and Liverpool Canal]] and the [[River Aire]] at [[Apperley Bridge]], then follows the river past [[Woodhouse Grove School]] before climbing up to meet the [[A65 road|A65]] south of [[Rawdon, West Yorkshire|Rawdon]].
 
'''Section 3:''' From here the path skirts [[Horsforth]], follows for a time the southern boundary of [[Leeds Bradford International Airport]], and goes round the northern edge of [[Cookridge]], before crossing Breary Marsh [[Local Nature Reserve]]<ref>{{cite web|title=Breary Marsh Local Nature Reserve|url=http://www.leeds.gov.uk/Environment_and_planning/Parks_and_open_spaces/Nature_reserves/page.aspx|accessdate=22 October 2007|author=Leeds City Council|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070209004114/http://www.leeds.gov.uk/Environment_and_planning/Parks_and_open_spaces/Nature_reserves/page.aspx|archivedate=9 February 2007|df=dmy-all}}</ref> to return to [[Golden Acre Park]] ({{gbmappingsmall|SE267417}}).
 
==Practical aspects==
As the route is circular it can be started at any point, but the description in the official leaflets starts and finishes at [[Golden Acre Park]], going clockwise. These divide it into four parts each split into three sections, but walkers can choose to divide it in various ways as there are many bus routes and several railway stations ([[Woodlesford railway station|Woodlesford]], [[Garforth railway station|Garforth]], [[New Pudsey railway station|New Pudsey]] and [[Horsforth railway station|Horsforth]]) on or near the path. [[West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive|West Yorkshire Metro]] provides information about bus routes serving the path and train services in the area.<ref>{{cite web |title = West Yorkshire Metro | url = http://www.wymetro.com/HowToGetTo/LCW.htm | accessdate = 20 September 2007 |deadurl = yes |archiveurl = https://archive.is/20130209183510/http://www.wymetro.com/HowToGetTo/LCW.htm |archivedate = 9 February 2013 |df = dmy-all }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|author=West Yorkshire Metro |title = MetroTrain timetables and routes|url=http://www.wymetro.com/TrainTravel/MetroTrainTimetablesAndRoutes/|archive-url=https://archive.is/20071011194248/http://www.wymetro.com/TrainTravel/MetroTrainTimetablesAndRoutes/|dead-url=yes|archive-date=11 October 2007|accessdate=15 October 2007 }}</ref>
