Retire to Cross Gates

Just four miles east of Leeds city centre, this former Victorian manufacturing village, is a vibrant and popular suburb with easy access to York, Harrogate and the surrounding Yorkshire countryside.

Local retirees love:

  • Amenities including eateries, medical facilities and Cross Gates shopping centre as well as excellent transport links including its own train station.
  • Local green spaces like Manston Park—which has football pitches, a bowling green and tennis courts; Temple Newsam Park, Primrose Valley Park and Leeds Golf Course.
  • It’s just a short bus or train trip away from the delights of Leeds city centre. Travel just a bit further and you’ll be in the breathtaking wilds of the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Dales.
