BARDSEY 

Bardsey is an attractive and sought after village situated off the A58 Leeds/Wetherby Road, within close travelling distance to the A1 and M1 link road. Leeds is only some 8 miles with other West Yorkshire centres and Leeds/Bradford Airport close by. The village has its own school and amenities with a larger selection of facilities available in the nearby Market Town of Wetherby, including Golf Course, Indoor Swimming Pool.

The village is steeped in history and was the home of the Celtic Bards with a church dating back to Saxon times and an interesting relic of a bygone age close by known as "Castle Hill" which was probably a Celtic strong hold. 

The Bingley Arms public house in Bardsey claims to be both the oldest and surviving pub in England dating back to the 18th century with an award winning restaurant and has a beer garden.

DIRECTIONS
