ALWOODLEY: Leeds Parish #37 of 38

LEEDS PARISH #37: ALWOODLEY Alwoodley is a suburb of Leeds located 5 miles North of the city centre. Still a civil parish, it’s one of Leeds’ biggest and is one of the most affluent areas of the city. The name Alwoodley is thought to derive from Old English “Æthelwald-lēah”, meaning “the woodland clearing at Æthelwald's farm”. It appears as Aluuoldelei in the Domesday Book The route of the Roman road between Ilkley and Tadcaster passes through Alwoodley. Part of it was excavated along Lakeland Crescent in 1994 The area to the north is mainly countryside which includes the village of Eccup, famed for the massive Eccup Reservoir and being the village where the Emmerdale tour begins Running along Alwoodley’s Western boundary is a huge wood. Named Adel Woods, there’s more than a few landmarks within its trees, including Adel Pond and The Slabbering Baby Alwoodley is something of a sporty area of Leeds too. It has within its boundaries, no less than three golf courses, two rugby clubs, a football club, a cricket club and a tennis club As such there’s a lot to see on this walk – and what a walk this was. This took me almost four hours, although it would have been quicker had it not have been punctuated by a spell of heavy rain. Let’s get moving and see the sights Alwoodley has to offer! **** #Alwoodley, #Leeds, #Yorkshire, #WestYorkshire, **** Co Op: https://batodfoundation.org.uk/co-op-...
