Welcome to Kellingley

Kellingley is a small village located in North Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 3 miles east of Knottingley and 17 miles south-east of Leeds. The village is known for its coal mining history, with the Kellingley Colliery being one of the last deep coal mines in the UK. The colliery was in operation for over 50 years and employed thousands of people from the surrounding areas. However, it closed in 2015 due to the decline in demand for coal and the increasing popularity of renewable energy sources.

Despite the closure of the colliery, Kellingley remains an important part of the local community. The village has a primary school, a post office, a pub, and a community centre. There are also several local businesses, including a farm shop and a garden centre. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with plenty of opportunities for walking and cycling. The nearby River Aire is a popular spot for fishing and boating.

Kellingley is a village with a rich history and a strong sense of community. Although the closure of the colliery was a significant blow to the local economy, the village has adapted and continues to thrive. With its beautiful surroundings and friendly atmosphere, Kellingley is a great place to live or visit.
