I'm back, from out of space. Okay maybe Spain isn't out of Spain but I'm of need of some hot rocking Yorkshire action and more flat caps and whippets than is humanely possible. So by eck I'm off to Wharfemeadows Park and a reminder that holidays are great but there is no place like home.
This is a bit of a trek out of Leeds city centre but Otley is such a nice destination that it's worth the 14 mile venture. It's a luscious riverside park with plenty of open spaces and enough to keep everyone interested.
The children's play area is pretty large and has a designated area for disabled children. You've also got some radical skating facilities, like seriously dude throw another half pipe, like awesome (oh dear this old girl needs to get a life). If you're feeling active yourself then have a spot of tennis and follow it up with a Pimms at the café (well maybe not but a good cuppa will go down a treat). Add to that bowling and some lovely formal planted areas and even Charlie Dimmock would be throwing her bra off in celebration. Oh and the River Wharfe is just a wee walk away so a nice afternoon stroll can finish the day off nicely. Very pleasant indeed.
