Leeds Dock to Kirkstall Viaduct | Aire Valley Towpath Walk 2020

This afternoon I went for a nice walk along the Aire Valley towpath, starting from Leeds Dock and along the River Aire before joining the Leeds & Liverpool Canal at Granary Wharf!

Along the way, we see all sorts of interesting landmarks, including the Royal Armouries Museum, Bridgewater Place, Leeds Station, Granary Wharf and more!
