Spofforth Hill: what to know before moving day
Two kinds of move come up here. The older, bigger houses stand along the A661 itself, and unless a house has a drive the van has to stop on the main road out of town, so a photo of the frontage helps. Behind them is the Glebe Field Estate, built by Shepherd Homes on former farmland; every street carries the name, from Glebe Field Chase, Close and Croft to Drive, Garth and Holt, with Lazenby Drive and Overdale Close alongside.
Lower down, to the south, are The Spinney, Wharfe View and Wharfe Grove, and Crossley Park Wood lies to the south-east. St Joseph's Catholic Primary School is a short way east towards Barleyfields. Wetherby's recent history notes a second large greenfield development beginning in the Spofforth Hill area in the late 2010s, so some addresses here are much newer than the road they sit off.
How the van gets to Spofforth Hill
The A661 starts at the South Wetherby roundabout, where it meets the A58 and the slip roads for the A1(M), and runs through the town as Boston Road, Market Place and West Gate before it becomes Spofforth Hill. Coming from Bradford by Collingham and the A58, the van follows that line straight through Wetherby, roughly 40 to 55 minutes in all.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 40 to 55 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
