Holt Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Holt Park is a quiet, low-rise, 1970s estate in the northwest suburbs of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England (approximately seven miles from the city centre). Holt Park is situated between Tinshill, Cookridge and Adel.
One half of the estate was built as a council estate and the other half was built of private housing. At the same time two schools, a sports centre and a shopping centre were built. It is at the edge of the Leeds metropolitan urban fringe, bordering the green belt, of which Leeds Metropolitan District is two-thirds predominantly comprised. The nearby Tinshill BT Tower dominates the skyline.
Adjacent to the shopping centre is High Farm, the farm that the estate was originally built around and has now been converted to a public house. The building itself is known to date back to the 17th Century.
Holt Park enjoys a frequent bus service, run by First Leeds notably Service 1 "Brown Line" which runs from the shopping centre, through Headingley, Leeds City Centre and terminating in the south Leeds area of Beeston.
