Our Feature Location this week is the North Leeds suburb or Adel. Adel is part of the Adel and Wharfedale ward of Leeds which has a large residence and acts as the ideal commuter area for Leeds and Harrogate. The area has developed to become one of the more affluent areas to live in Leeds and is a sought-after area to live.

Moving to Adel

One of the first signs of a settlement at Adel was a Roman fort on the road from Tadcaster to Ilkley. Now Adel has developed into a sought after residential area of Leeds which is mainly down to its good housing and handy location within the city. It is also rich with local amenities within Adel itself and the nearby Holt Park to the west of Adel and Moor Allerton towards the south east.
