About Alwoodley:
Alwoodley is a suburb of
Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It is 5 miles
(8.0 km) north of Central Leeds and is one of
the city's most affluent areas.
Alwoodley is home to a
sizeable proportion (around 30%) of the Leeds
Jewish community. The area contains one of
Leeds' Synagogues, and a well-known Jewish
primary school. Alwoodley is a well kept
residential suburb, built mostly after World War
II. The area has lots of green spaces and golf
courses. There are a number of apartment blocks,
which are popular with the retired section of
the population. Recently a number of large
properties have been sold and replaced by luxury
flats. This is especially true in the Alwoodley
Gates area, and increasingly along Harrogate
Road, leading towards Alwoodley Gates. Many
retirement flats have been built around North
Alwoodley in the past decade. Around Alwoodley
Lane and in the Wigton Moor area, the housing
generally consists of tree lined avenues
(pictured) many stretching for over a mile,
surrounded by large double fronted detached
housing, usually with around six bedrooms.
The A61 Harrogate Road runs
from north to south through the centre of
Alwoodley. The area comprises a large part of
the postcode LS17, which contains most of North
Leeds and the surrounding countryside. On either
side of Alwoodley is Adel, to the west, and
Shadwell, to the east. There are a number of
commuter villages to the north such as East
Keswick and Wike.
In Alwoodley there are a
number of different areas of housing which are
popular with middle and high class families such
as the Primley Parks, the Sandmoors, the
Plantations, the Turnberrys, the Sunningdales,
the Birkdales, the Buckstones and the Wentworths.
The residential areas on and around Alwoodley
Lane and Wigton Lane are among the most
exclusive in Leeds.
The two largest schools in
the area are Allerton High School and The
Grammar School at Leeds Junior & Senior site.
There are also schools nearby in Gledhow and
Roundhay.
The area is well known for
its selection of golf courses in the immediate
vicinity, namely Alwoodley, Moortown and
Sandmoor Golf Clubs. Moor Allerton, Scarcroft
and Wike Ridge Golf Clubs are situated in within
a 3 miles (4.8 km) radius. Moortown Golf Club
was also the home of the 1929 Ryder Cup.
