About Fearnville
Where to stay in Fearnville
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Most people looking for a bed near Fearnville end up choosing between Roundhay, whose name the area often borrows, and Oakwood, where Oakwood Church stands. Fearnville itself has none. Harehills, Gipton and Seacroft complete the ring of neighbours, and the whole cluster sits inside the built-up spread of Leeds.
St Johns House and Hollin Hill House are the addresses worth walking past.
About Fearnville
What are the main landmarks in Fearnville?
Oakwood Church is the one building here that people outside the area would recognise by name. Two houses follow it. St Johns House and Hollin Hill House hold the remaining heritage entries of a district that measures its ground in streets rather than in monuments, hemmed in by Roundhay, Gipton and Harehills.
What is the history of Fearnville?
Fearnville has never quite held its own name in common use, and the area is usually spoken of as part of Roundhay or of Oakwood rather than as a place in its own right. The paperwork says otherwise. Administratively it belongs to the Killingbeck and Seacroft ward, which ties it to Seacroft rather than to either of the names it usually borrows.
Oakwood Church, St Johns House and Hollin Hill House stand regardless of which name wins.
Where is Fearnville?
Fearnville fills a small corner of Leeds where the edges of Roundhay, Seacroft, Oakwood, Gipton and Harehills all meet.
