Overview

We will meet at The Bridge Inn on  Low Lane (please note, NOT The Kirkstall Bridge Inn) and walk through the road on good paths to cross the main road & on down to the River Aire. We will cross the river by Newlay Bridge & then along the canal towpath to Rodley. From here we walk steadily uphill towards the woods at Hunger Hiill. There is a great view as we leave the woods & walk down towards Horsforth station, then down through more woodland to the ring road & back to Hawksworth Road, where we can have refreshments at The Bridge Inn
