A new survey has revealed the top 10 places to live in Leeds according to recent movers and LS16 tops the table.

Transcript

00:00 It's no surprise a recent survey ranks LS16 as the most popular postcode for people to

00:07 move to in Leeds. With the area covering far headingly to Bramhope, it's home to the Addle

00:12 Dam Nature Reserve, Bedquilts Recreation Ground and York Gate Garden. We visited a few times

00:18 recently with Bramhope crowned one of the most desirable areas of Leeds to live, and

00:23 Astarn in Addle being featured in the Good Food Guide 2024.

00:27 We headed to another LS16 gem, Goldenacre Park, to find out what makes it so special.

00:33 We come to Goldenacre probably five times a week, during Monday to Friday, generally

00:38 with, always with the dogs. So it's an easy walk around with the dogs.

00:42 We've just walked from Crag House Farm, which is part of LS16. So that's a really nice walk,

00:47 you can do a loop from there over to Goldenacre.

00:50 We're from LS8, so we park the other side of the park and do different routes.

00:55 But yeah, we do different sections of the park. So yeah, we come regularly. Yeah. But

01:00 yeah, it's a nice up and coming area, I think, especially the Addle part of LS16.

01:06 I'm on my lunch break with my dogs. So it's just a nice area to come and switch off and

01:10 take in all the views, the nature, the trees and the fresh air, get away from the traffic.

01:16 I've come to visit my Auntie Maureen. And I find there's loads of parks and loads of

01:21 walks. And you've been here how long?

01:24 We've been here about 18 months and wondered what we were coming to with all the hills

01:29 of Yorkshire. But found the walks absolutely delightful. We can do a different one every

01:35 day. We try to do about three a week, about eight miles. And Goldenacre Park is great

01:41 because you've got a variety, we like bird watching. So we can do bird watching as well,

01:46 or we can do a longer walk. We can even walk from Beanwood, which is about four miles away

01:53 from here. You can walk directly through on footpaths by the river and come right up at

01:57 Goldenacre Park.
