Moving to Guiseley

Guiseley is one of the bigger towns in the Aireborough amalgamation that lies north west of Leeds city centre. Guiseley is well serviced by local amenities which make it a popular location for commuters into Leeds and Bradford. Its popularity is helped not only because of its access to both of these urban centres but also because of the town’s access to rural parts of West Yorkshire. This predominantly because of the A65 which passes through the centre of the town.
