Where to stay in Tinshill
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
No hotel sign hangs in Tinshill. Anyone drawn out here by the Church of St James, by Troy Hill, or by the medieval farmstead in Ireland Wood will be booking a room in central Leeds and driving the four miles out. Cookridge Hospital sits a hundred and fifty metres from the farmstead site in Ireland Wood, which gives some idea of the scale of the place.
Beech House and St Gabriels House name the older frontages passed on the way.
