The Hollies & Meanwood Valley local nature reserve

Leeds

The Hollies is a Leeds park bordering the Meanwood Valley Trail. It is well known for its rhodendron gardens, however on our autumn visit we will be looking at the exotic as well as native trees which will be in fruit. We could see nuthatch in the woodland and dipper by the beck.

There is a steep gradient from the gardens to the beck so care needs to be taken as the path is stony with exposed tree roots and liable to be wet and slippery. Waterproof boots and walking stick are strongly recommended for this section.
