Temple Newsam House is a prominent landmark in the Leeds City Landscape. This evening walk explores the history and archaeology of it’s extensive parkland. We will talk about the development of the house and grounds, the deserted medieval village of Colton and the prehistory of the area.

The walk is moderately easy, though there are a couple of stiles and some hills to negotiate. The pace will be easy and the whole walk should last no longer than two hours.
