Welcome to Outwood

Outwood is a small village located in West Yorkshire, England. It is situated between the cities of Leeds and Wakefield and is known for its beautiful countryside and historic landmarks. The village has a population of around 5,000 people and is a popular destination for tourists who want to experience the charm of rural England.

One of the most notable landmarks in Outwood is the Outwood Windmill, which dates back to the 18th century. The windmill is a Grade II listed building and is one of the few remaining windmills in the country that still has its original machinery intact. Visitors can take a tour of the windmill and learn about its history and how it was used to grind corn.

Outwood is also home to the Outwood Memorial Hall, which is a community center that hosts a variety of events and activities throughout the year. The hall is used for everything from weddings and parties to fitness classes and art exhibitions. It is a hub of activity in the village and is a great place to meet new people and get involved in the local community.
