If you're looking for a Spring walk that has sculptures, wildlife and blooming flowers then look no further than the University of Leeds campus.
Start by heading to the Treasures of the Brotherton or The Stanley & Audrey Burton Galleries in the Parkinson Building and see the exhibitions, showcasing artworks, medieval manuscripts and more.
Then pick up a Public Art Trail map, with over 20 works by Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore, Hubert Dalwood, Quentin Bell and other artists across campus to discover. Whether you want to follow the guide and start from Simon Fujiwara's A Spire, or just wander around is totally up to you! There is also an Audio Tour which you can activate by scanning the QR codes next to each artwork and dig deeper into the fascinating stories behind each piece.
Plus there's lots of cafes to stop off for coffee and a sweet treat, and keep your eyes peeled for some Spring babies!
