Homes in Wetherby
Wetherby is a prosperous market town on the River Wharfe, midway between London and Edinburgh on the old Great North Road. Its centre has Georgian and Victorian stone buildings around the market place, with coaching inns and a conservation area. Stone cottages and terraces fill the streets close to the river, and the town is popular with commuters to Leeds, York and Harrogate.
Large estates of 1960s to 1990s housing, with detached houses and bungalows, fill much of the town, and newer developments have been added on the edges. Boston Spa, Collingham and Linton are affluent villages with Georgian houses, stone cottages and large detached homes. Bramham is a conservation village near Bramham Park. The River Wharfe has caused flooding in low-lying parts of Wetherby and Collingham.
