Directions by Car
To visit the café by car: the following directions are from the Oakwood Lane, Wetherby Road Junction, by the Oakwood Clock. Follow Princes Avenue from the junction and take the second right [One Way] into Park Avenue, turning left almost as soon as the preceding right turn. The road proceeds along the south edge of Roundhay Park, continue past the junction on the left, West Avenue, which tracks the eastern boundary of the park, and head around the long sweeping bend to the left and down the hill, where Park Avenue terminates at a car park, the casfe is on your right at the edge of the lake.
Another useful way to reach the caf and take advantage of a less used car park on Wetherby Road, is to travel to the entrance to the car park on the right just after [heading into Leeds] the Leeds Montessori School and Day Nursery. From here it is a brisk walk up the embankment to the level of the lake and head off left, around the south perimeter until you reach The Carriage Drive, a level roadway up to the café, with the lake on your right.
If you have any disabilities or accessibility issues, which may restrict your ability to reach the venue, then the first route will be preferable, as the second option does involve some steep paths, alternatively you may wish to note the details under the directions by bus.
Directions by Bus
There are good services to the Oakwood Clock [Services: 12, 13, 13A, X98, X99]. Details are available on West Yorkshire Metro Site. However it is a good walk from the Oakwood Clock to the café. Two options may be preferable, one is to alight the bus X98 at the Wetherby Road ~ Elmete Avenue stop, and walk directly on the level Carriage Walk to the café. Another might be to carry on through Roundhay Park to the stop [12] at Tropical World, then you can walk down the hill from the park entrance towards the café, albeit it is still a good walk... but then it follows that refreshments at the café will be a deserved reward!
