The village is a 20 minute drive from Leeds city centre and close to the A1M
Aberford is around a 20 minute drive away from Leeds city centre and has a population of just 1,216, as of 2021. The area is great for connections to the motorway and A1M.
Some of the staple buildings include 12th century St Ricarius Church, The Gascoigne Almshouses, 18th century mansion Aberford House and The Swan Hotel. The buried remains of a Roman fort have been found beneath Aberford House. The pub was originally called The Bay Horse. It's name was changed around 1850 when the first Arabian horses in the country were stranded at the pub. The name has stuck since.
'Nice community but we don't really have anything' Leeds Live spoke to some residents who told us what it is like to live in a village so close to the motorway, with no pub, and little to do. "Unfortunately the pub's closed. It is supposed to be opening at Christmas. That should be better when that is open.
He added: "But, I don't like the traffic. People pass through to get to the A1M. I wouldn't like to live roadside as traffic is always passing through. I live up a small lane so I don't really see it."
