Wetherby West

About

Wetherby West is a residential district situated on the western bank of the River Wharfe, forming part of the broader Wetherby settlement within the Leeds metropolitan area. The area is characterised by a mix of post-war housing developments and more modern estates, providing a primarily suburban living environment. Its layout includes several local parks and green corridors that follow the natural topography of the river valley.

The area is directly connected to the town centre via Wetherby Bridge, a notable historic crossing point. Local amenities are focused along nearby streets, serving the immediate community. The presence of the river and its adjacent paths defines much of the local scenery and provides a distinct natural boundary, with open fields and wooded areas marking the western edges of the urban area.
