Eastfield: what to know before moving day
A lot of Eastfield's streets are named after dales, which makes them easy to muddle: Farndale Road, Garsdale Road, Widdale Road, Nidderdale Drive, Dentdale Drive, Littondale Avenue, Baldersdale Avenue, Bilsdale Grove, Cragdale Rise and a run of dale-named closes. Check whether yours is a Road, Drive, Avenue, Grove or Close when you book, because the names are easy to swap in a hurry.
Further east are Swallowtail Way, where the Aldi is, and Gatekeeper Close, Grayling Grove, Ringlet Close and Kingfisher Road. Manse Lane has trade and car repair businesses and a fuel station, Aspin Park Academy is on Wetherby Road, and the Hay-a-Park Gravel Pits nature reserve lies off Hay-a-Park Lane.
How the van gets to Eastfield
Two main roads serve Eastfield: the A59 York Road, with a 40 mph limit on this stretch, and the B6164 Wetherby Road, 30 mph, which crosses the Nidd at Grimbald Bridge. Chain Lane and Manse Lane link into the estate streets. From Harrogate the van follows the A59 through Knaresborough and out along York Road.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 45 to 55 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
