Forest of Leeds, Urban woodland network in Leeds, England.
The Forest of Leeds consists of multiple woodland areas with diverse tree species, seasonal wildflowers, and walking trails spread across 1200 hectares within the city limits.
Established in 1993, the Forest of Leeds traces its origins to the medieval Forest of Loidis, which served as royal hunting grounds where the present city developed.
Local schools conduct regular educational trips to the woodlands, teaching students about environmental conservation and connecting them with natural heritage.
The forest includes 55 distinct woodland units, with designated walking paths, parking facilities, and public transportation access from central Leeds.
Spring brings displays of bluebells across Woodhouse Ridge, while three native woodpecker species inhabit the Meanwood Valley section of the forest.
