Ireland Wood

[1][2] The estate was constructed throughout the 1950s and provided a refuge from the slum houses in industrial parts of the city which they (along with other similar areas) replaced.

The district is close to the Holt Park, Cookridge and Tinshill areas and the Leeds Ring Road.

Council housing on nearby estates such as Tinshill and Moor Grange is built with bricks, as opposed to being prefabricated, and so generally fetches a higher price on the property market.

Ireland Wood is 7.6 hectares of 50% oak and 20% birch Secondary woodland which has a category A rating for its exceptional popularity.

[4] The main bus services with routes through Ireland Wood are the First Bus Sky Line (6), linking the area with Holt Park, Horsforth railway station, Headingley and Leeds city centre and the First Bus Pink Line (19 & 19A) which connects the area with Kirkstall, Burley and Leeds city centre then Colton and Garforth.
