Overview

An easy evening walk along pavements and canal towpath. Distance: 4.5 miles

Starting from Horsforth, we head down to Newlay Bridge and pick up the canal towpath, heading towards Rodley. Departing the canal, a short, gradual uphill section sees us return to Horsforth and back to the start.  As it dusk will fall during the walk, please bring a torch.
