Keighley Exley Head

About

Exley Head sits on the northwestern edge of Keighley, characterised by residential streets that climb the lower slopes of the Pennine moorland. The area is primarily made up of post-war housing, with a mix of semi-detached homes and some older terraced properties. Views open up across the Aire Valley towards the town centre, with the landscape transitioning quickly to open farmland and rough grazing land on its upper edges.

The local community is served by a primary school and a working men's club, with the historic Exley Head Farm standing as a reminder of the area's agricultural past. A network of public footpaths leads directly from the housing estates onto the moors, providing immediate access to walks along Lees Moor and towards the prominent landmark of the 'Murder' or 'Whetstone' memorial stone on the horizon.
