Horsforth Village Circular Walk with June Smith

Horsforth Village Circular (5 miles)

Directions

11:00 No. 50A bus from Stand G on Eastgate (in front of the John Lewis Store).

Alight 11:37 at ‘The Green’ (opposite the Horsforth Village Museum) Postcode: LS18 5JB

*If coming by car please arrive by 11:40am at the Fink Hill Car Park, Horsforth, LS18 5DX

This pleasant circular walk takes in a variety of local historical and scenic sites, all in the Horsforth region. I will stop and read these interesting ‘asides’ to you as we walk along.

Refreshments

On completion of the walk there are local cafes on the Town Street. However, I heartily recommend that you visit the free and fascinating Horsforth Village Museum. It has been described as a ‘wonderfully eccentric and educational’ place, covering the Victorian, Georgian and Edwardian periods.

Poems on the theme of ‘history’ or ‘historical events’ would fit in beautifully.

*Please wear suitable walking gear – the area can be wet and boggy in places. Bring a packed lunch and a drink.
