Horsforth

Horsforth is a suburb of the City of Leeds.

Horsforth was considered to have the largest population of any village in the United Kingdom during the latter part of the nineteenth century. It became officially part of the City of Leeds in 1974.

It is home to Horsforth Museum, whose collections and displays aim to illustrate aspects of life set against the backdrop of the changing role of the village.

Leeds Trinity & All Saints, a college accredited by the University of Leeds, is on Brownberrie Lane. It is affectionately known as TASC, or TASC Island, by its students.

A regular event in Horsforth is the Horsforth Mile pub crawl. This usually starts off at the Fox and Hounds next to the railway station, although this is regarded by many as being in Cookridge, so an alternative is to begin at The Old Ball, and meander through at least 10 pubs in the town
