Exploring the back-to-back houses in Harehills
This is a fun trail to guide families around the neighbourhood, encouraging observation and understanding of the architecture and the history of the back-to-back houses.
It provides a light-hearted introduction incorporating fun activities that range from easy finds to more challenging explorations.
The trail can be followed in part or as a complete route so that families can participate at a level that suits their children’s ages and abilities.
Practical information: This trail is on public streets. All parts of the route have a pavement and dropped kerbs at junctions / road crossings. Note that the neighbourhood is hilly and some streets have steep inclines. Many streets on the route have free on-street parking.
