A stone-built former farmhouse, dating from 1714, nestles between the River Aire and Leeds-Liverpool Canal. A local community pub, The Abbey showcases a selection of predominantly local ales, with pumps dedicated to dark ale and Westons Old Rosie cider. Also available is a range of keg beers, wines and whiskies. The Abbey bustles with friendly locals throughout the week with annual celebrations and with a folk night on Tuesday, live music on Saturday and quizzes on Thursday and Sunday. Ample seating outside attracts dog walkers and cyclists and large annual events draw a crowd. The pub is accessible by road from Pollard Lane, Bramley and on foot over Pollard Bridge from Horsforth or along the canal from the Kirkstall Forge Train Station.
