Why move to Wetherby?
Wetherby is a market town on the banks of the River Wharfe which in 2018 The Times named one of the best places to live in the UK. Set within the affluent ‘golden triangle’ of Leeds, Harrogate and York, Wetherby is an affluent and desirable relocation destination.
The town’s heyday was in the 1700’s when it was a prime staging post for travellers. Today those various inns and alehouses have helped render it a permanent location for various families looking for a slower pace of life. Here’s why it continues to prove so popular:
Excellent commuter credentials with easy access to Leeds, York, Harrogate, etc via the A1(M). The railway station at Kirk Hammerton is just 20 minutes away and provides onwards connections to London and the rest of the country.
Tons of amenities and leisure activities including an enviable range of pubs, an independent cinema and retailers and Wetherby’s famous race track.
Weekly markets held in the square selling the best and freshest vegetables, pictures frames, rugs, flowers, stationery and much more.
Beautiful and large families homes with Georgian décor and features and the backdrop of the stunning countryside on your doorstop.
Excellent and high performing primary and secondary schools within a short distance.
If it’s a breath of fresh country air you are after but easy access to city life for work and play, then you can do far worse than Wetherby.
