Woodhouse, Leeds

Woodhouse, Leeds

Woodhouse is an area of largely back-to-back terraced housing in inner city north-west Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, and is home to the University of Leeds.

The area climbs a hill rising from Woodhouse Moor, adjacent to the University of Leeds, and backs onto woodland known locally as The Ridge. This forms part of the Meanwood Valley Trail, a route frequented by the 19th Century Leeds painter John Atkinson Grimshaw, and which now forms part of the Dales Way link, meeting the main Dales Way long distance footpath at Ilkley.

Woodhouse is a largely working-class area, with a racially diverse population and a sizeable student community.
