Where to stay in Gipton
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Gipton is housing. Two trunk roads bracket it, the A58 to the north and the A64 to the south, which makes the suburb easy to drive past and easy to reach but leaves it without much in the way of rooms. Central Leeds is the answer.
St Wilfrid's Church and St Cyprian With St James are what the suburb puts on the map.

About Gipton
What are the main landmarks in Gipton?
Two churches carry the suburb. St Wilfrid's Church and St Cyprian With St James stand among the houses of Gipton, and the strongest lines on the ground are not buildings at all but the A58 along the northern edge and the A64 along the southern. Roads shape it more than towers.
St Cyprian With St James keeps the double dedication.
What is the history of Gipton?
Gipton's story is a suburban one. No charter or castle anchors it; the fixed points are two churches, St Wilfrid's Church and St Cyprian With St James, and two trunk roads drawn across east Leeds either side of the housing. The suburb grew inside that frame.
The A58 holds the north, the A64 the south.
Where is Gipton?
The suburb occupies the ground between the A58 to the north and the A64 to the south, in east Leeds, part of West Yorkshire.
