About

Horsforth ward sits in the northwestern part of Leeds, bordered by the River Aire to the south and open countryside to the north. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of housing types from Victorian terraces to modern developments. Its centre functions as a local hub with independent shops, supermarkets, and a range of eateries along Town Street and New Road Side. Transport links are a key feature, with a railway station providing direct services into Leeds city centre.

The ward contains several green spaces, including Horsforth Hall Park and the grounds of the former Horsforth Grammar School. A notable local institution is the Horsforth Museum, housed in the old schoolmaster's house, which details the area's history from a village to a substantial Leeds suburb. The community is served by multiple schools and sports clubs, contributing to its self-contained character. The Leeds Country Way footpath traverses its northern edges, connecting to wider rural walks.
