The Leeds Country Way is a 62 mile circular route that can be started at any point along the way and can be walked in either direction.
If you are walking sections of a way like this, one big problem can be how to get to your starting point and then how to get home again.
You can download each section of the walk and then use the bus guide below to find information on bus services along the route.
