Connect Horsforth with Slow Ways
We’re creating a network of walking routes that connect all of Britain’s towns, cities and national parks
more walks and reviews are needed to fully connect Horsforth to the verified network. Can you give a hike and help?

Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Horsforth’s Slow Ways.

Unfortunately, due to overgrown footpaths, we had to make a few diversions, and parts of the route were inaccurately plotted (on non existent footpaths). With a few small edits, I would recommend this route....

However, when leaving Pudsey towards Stanningley/Farsley, the route crosses the Ring Road....

Most direct route between Adel and Horsforth - not particularly scenic, although there isn't a more scenic alternative without major detours. Mostly follows pavements, apart from a foot path next to the Ireland Wood playing fields, which is very accessible. Tinshill Lane is fairly steep....

This is a great way to walk between Horsforth and Leeds and is far greener than many people might expect....

I enjoyed walking this route, but would like another route option for walking when it's dark. Most of the route would be fine, but like others... some of the woodland sections would not be appealing at night....

This is an enjoyable way to walk between Yeadon and Horsforth with a great view across the Leeds from Billing Hill. There were cows in the fields, but they all appeared very used to walkers and were not bothered by us. There are a few stiles....

I really enjoyed walking this route and did not expect the country fields in this part of Leeds. Loved the views....

Mostly on urban roads, some off road, a steep hill at the beginning and then a gentle incline, good views across Leeds and beyond before it drops down into Adel...

Peter's church yard, Rawdon and fantastic views from the trig point near Rawdon Billing. Good facilities at both ends....

It's a safe route and would feel fine walking it on my own (but maybe not in the evening through the woods as a solo woman). The route given was accurate and I'd be happy to walk it again....

Some paths nicer than others but overall paths where easy to find and were clear to walk on.Just one main road to cross (by pass coming out of Pudsey) which was a little difficult with the traffic and speed of....
