Ellar Gardens is situated within a popular residential neighbourhood towards the north eastern side of Menston. Menston is an understandably popular village community, located on the edge of the Wharfe Valley just a short drive away from the local towns of Ilkley and Otley and well positioned for the Leeds/Bradford commuter too. The village retains a broad provision of everyday amenities including local shops, sports club, park, pubs and churches of a number of denominations. A local pub, the village railway station with regular links into the cities of Leeds and Bradford and the village cricket ground are all within comfortable walking distance of Ellar Gardens. Both local towns offer a more comprehensive range of retail, social and recreational amenities with Ilkley in particular being home to a first class shopping environment.
