Where to stay in Beeston
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
The rooms a visitor to Leeds books are down in the centre, two miles from the Beeston hill. This is a suburb rather than a district of hotels, so a bed on the hill makes sense only when the trip has business, family or a fixture in West Yorkshire behind it. The hill is the constant.
Below it, Leeds carries the beds and the Church of St Mary keeps its ground up here.

About Beeston
What are the main landmarks in Beeston?
The Church of St Mary is the one entry Beeston's register carries. The hill does the rest. A suburb of this kind trades sights for streets, and a visitor with a day to fill will drop the two miles down into Leeds rather than walk the hill looking for more.
The register for England shows nothing further inside the suburb, which leaves the church and the slope as the whole of it.
What is the history of Beeston?
No charter year attaches to Beeston in the record that reaches us. What is recorded is its place in the order of things, a suburb of Leeds in West Yorkshire, England, raised on a hill two miles from the centre of the city it belongs to. The Church of St Mary is named.
Leeds wrote the dates that shaped the hill, and Beeston's own entry keeps only the church and the ground.
Where is Beeston?
The ground under Beeston is a hill, standing clear of the Leeds city centre by about two miles, with the Church of St Mary among its streets.
