Welcome to Hollinthorpe

Hollinthorpe is a small village located in West Yorkshire, England. It is situated between the cities of Leeds and Wakefield and is part of the Leeds Metropolitan Borough. The village is known for its beautiful countryside, which is popular with walkers and cyclists. The area is also home to a number of historic buildings, including the Grade II listed Hollinthorpe Hall.

Hollinthorpe has a rich history dating back to the 12th century when it was known as Holinthorp. The village was once a thriving agricultural community, with many farms and smallholdings in the area. Today, the village has a more diverse economy, with many residents commuting to nearby cities for work. Despite this, the village has managed to maintain its rural charm and is a popular destination for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

One of the most notable features of Hollinthorpe is its close proximity to a number of nature reserves and parks. The village is located just a short distance from the beautiful Rothwell Country Park, which is home to a variety of wildlife and offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Other nearby attractions include the Temple Newsam Estate, which boasts a stunning Tudor-Jacobean mansion and extensive parkland, and the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, which is home to a collection of contemporary art set in beautiful parkland.
