With easy transport links into the city, surrounding areas complete with all the shops and amenities you need and an impressive selection of schools, it is popular with families.

The Meanwood Valley Trail passes on the boundary of Weetwood and this seven mile walk takes you through rural beauty to the city centre. Nearby is the beautiful 12th-century Kirkstall Abbey, perfect for picnics and family days out. Other popular spots are Headingley Stadium for sport, the Hollywood Bowl in Burley with a bowling alley and cinema as well as Tropical World and Roundhay Park, which is a short drive away.

Weetwood Hall has a beautiful restaurant, Gusto in Adel comes well recommended, the Dough Bistro is popular and both the Fisherman's Wife and Sukothai in Headingley are busy eateries. There are plenty more up and down Otley Road, along with numerous bars and pubs for a drink or two.
