Tourism and sports A nature trail of about 2 miles, funded by National Lottery Awards For All Fund, is routed through the site, and several other paths are available. Parking for visitors is possible at Wood Lane. Motorcycle trials, organised by West Leeds Motor Club, are still held in the area, but ad-hoc motorcycling is strictly prohibited. Post Hill is also the location of running events. References Literature Farnley, Leeds Pudsey Hills of West Yorkshire
