Welcome to Woodlesford

Woodlesford is a small village located in the metropolitan borough of Leeds, West Yorkshire. The village is situated on the banks of the River Aire and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village has a rich history dating back to the 12th century when it was known as Wodelersford. The village was once a thriving industrial hub with several mills and factories, but today it is a peaceful residential area with a strong sense of community.

One of the most notable landmarks in Woodlesford is the St. John the Baptist Church. The church dates back to the 12th century and is a Grade II listed building. The church has undergone several renovations over the years, but it still retains its original Norman architecture. The church is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, and it hosts several events throughout the year, including concerts and art exhibitions.

Woodlesford is also home to several parks and green spaces, including the Woodlesford Park and the Rothwell Country Park. The Woodlesford Park is a popular destination for families, with its playgrounds, picnic areas, and sports facilities. The Rothwell Country Park is a nature reserve that covers over 50 hectares of land and is home to several species of birds and wildlife. The park is a great place for hiking, cycling, and birdwatching, and it offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside.
