Horsforth

Out towards the West of Leeds Horsforth is a laid-back village with a strong sense of tradition. It’s characterfuly old-fashioned and offers a mature independence from the city buzz, though this is done with an increasingly modern twist. The proximity to Leeds centre 6 miles away, together with efficient train and bus links, has made it attractive to both young professionals and families. The students from nearby Trinity and All Saints integrate well with the locals, with pubs such as the Old Ball proving a hit with both. Elsewhere, Sandbar pulls in discerning crowd, who turn up not just for its gourmet food menu but also its live music schedule. Horsforth brings together a harmonious combination of cultures where cocktails in Suburban Style Bar on a Friday can be followed by a Sunday roast and ale in one of many traditional English pubs. New Road Side has an impressive range of bistros and restaurants, with the renowned Midgley’s serving up the region’s finest fish and chips.
