Welcome to Farnley

Farnley is a small village located in West Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 4 miles southwest of Leeds city centre and is part of the Leeds Metropolitan Borough. The village has a rich history dating back to the 12th century when it was first mentioned in historical records. Farnley was once a thriving mining community, with coal mining being the primary industry in the area. However, the decline of the mining industry in the 20th century led to a significant decline in the village's population.

Despite the decline in population, Farnley has managed to maintain its charm and character. The village is home to several historic buildings, including Farnley Hall, a Grade II listed building that dates back to the 17th century. The hall was once the home of the Fawkes family, who were prominent landowners in the area. Today, the hall is used as a conference centre and is a popular venue for weddings and other events.

Farnley is also home to several parks and green spaces, including Farnley Hall Park and Farnley Reservoir. These areas provide residents with a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. The village has a strong sense of community, with several local groups and organisations working to improve the area. Overall, Farnley is a charming village that offers a peaceful and tranquil way of life, while still being within easy reach of the city of Leeds.
