Combining the paths around Horsforth Hall Park with the trails through the wooded Hunger Hills makes for a fun run in the northeastern section of Leeds. Horsforth Hall Park is a nice open green space with 1 mile of walking trails and a Japanese garden. Exit the north end into the ‘Hunger Hills’, which is a series of narrower trails through woods connecting to Leeds Trinity University, which also has a good running track.
