Kirkstall is based just outside Leeds and is a busy area. It is characterised by terraced housing and semi detached properties at affordable prices. In recent years it has acquired a busy shopping area with a large Morrisons supermarket, Boots and other retail stores. It is also home to Leeds Rhinos and Leeds Tykes rugby club training academy. If you are feeling active there is a leisure centre that offers a swimming pool and gym.
Further down the Kirkstall Road towards Leeds there is the Warner Village complex. This hosts a large cinema complex, a Virgin Active gym, a bowling alley, the Evolution club, along with many different restaurants in and around the immediate area. |
Its most famous landmark is Kirkstall Abbey, which is situated close to the River Aire. It is now a ruin but is used in the summer to host outdoor plays such as Midsummer's Night Dream. It also has a network of paths surrounding the abbey, which gives local residents a green haven amongst all the houses.
In and around Kirkstall there are plenty of local pubs, restaurants and takeaways and there are regular buses into Leeds city centre.
