Temple Newsam - southern avenue
This avenue, shown looking away from the main buildings, led towards Pontefract Lane (which with the coming of the M1 extension, glimpsed in the distance, has been realigned anyway). It now forms part of a network of open paths for walkers, cyclists and horse riders within the estate.
Temple Newsam :: SE3432

A large country estate a few miles east of the city of Leeds, Temple Newsam dates back to Norman times and took its name from ownership by the Knights Templar in the 12th century. After a complex history (see Wikipedia etc. for more details) it is now owned by Leeds City Council. There is a charge for entry to the house and educational farm, but the extensive grounds, mostly landscaped by 'Capability' Brown, are free to use and are crossed by several public footpaths.

The house itself is listed grade 1, the stable block grade 2* and several other features grade 2; the park as a whole is listed under "parks and gardens".
