Where to stay in Moortown
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Moortown is suburban and quiet. Hotels are not what this ward is for, so most visitors book in central Leeds and come out only for a specific address, the Church of St Edmund or the Roundhay side beyond it. Space here is domestic.
The Moortown ward of Leeds City Council covers these streets, and what they offer a visitor is quiet rather than supply.

What is the history of Moortown?
Moortown's history is filed under local government. The suburb kept civil parish status while becoming a ward of Leeds City Council, a double identity that holds a local name in place inside a city that long ago grew past it. After that, Moortown's entry turns to churches.
The Church of St Edmund and the Church of St Andrew at Roundhay are the parish's two named buildings.
