Far Headingley
The Far Headingley gallery on this page is continued in two additional galleries, for Headingley Moor and for Headingley Campus.
Far Headingley village is centred on the quadrangle on Otley Road made by Cottage Road, Moor Road and Weetwood Lane, subject of the present gallery. More broadly, Far Headingley neighbourhood extends east and west from the village, until the land falls away beyond Beckett Park to the River Aire on the one hand (including Headingley Campus), and on the other, formerly Headingley Moor, which drops down to Meanwood Beck (gallery here). See the downloadable map on the Home page.
For an outline description of the area, go to Far Headingley Village, and also, its Listed Buildings. See also Claremonts, Highburys and Moor Park to the east, and Beckett’s Park and Church Woods & Drummonds to the west, and the Listed Buildings of each.
Far Headingley is close to Schools in Wood Lane and Weetwood, it has two Dentists, and St Chad’s Church. Far Headingley Local Centre is a Shopping Centre, and also includes three Historic Pubs and a Cinema.
Far Headingley lies between two Parks, Beckett and Meanwood, and A Walk around Far Headingley explores the area. Further afield, regular Buses connect to town and to the Dales, and there’s a local Hotel for visitors.
