About

Adel sits northwest of Leeds city centre, along the strip of suburbs that follow Otley Road (A660). The area grew up around a village nucleus on a triangular green; that core contains shops, a post office, a primary school and a handful of 19th- and early-20th-century houses within a conservation area. Bus services on Otley Road link Adel to the city and to neighbouring suburbs, while local lanes and cul-de-sacs lead to residential estates of mixed dates and styles.

At the village centre the parish church of St John the Baptist occupies a raised site on Church Lane; parts of the building incorporate carved stonework and other fabric from Anglo-Saxon and Norman periods, displayed next to later repairs. Around the green there are playing fields, allotments and a network of footpaths that lead into pockets of woodland and open farmland. Local sports clubs use the pitches and community events gather on the green, keeping the village nucleus active within the wider suburban area.
