Horton Park is 5 minutes away. Good for exercise. It has the Park Run organisation every Saturday morning where you can run 3 times around the park. You need to register to obtain your own bar code for checking your timing. Great place for walking the dog. Horton Bank Country Park reservoir also a beautiful place to walk your dog or have a walk yourself. Fantastic views of half of Bradford on the top path. 5 minutes by car up Great Horton Road, turn right at the pharmacy/Drs on your right. If you have passed the petrol station on your left, you have gone too far.
