Ireland Wood is a small residential area in north-west Leeds, West Yorkshire, England named after the Woodland Trust wood which it contains. It is approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) to the north-west of Leeds city centre. It was planned by the Leeds Housing Director, R.A.H. Livett, and won the Ministry Housing medal for 1945-9. An early plan of Ireland Wood in 1950 is shown on the Leodis website .[1][2]
The estate was constructed throughout the 1950s and provided a refuge from the slum houses in industrial parts of the city which they (along with other similar areas) replaced. This estate is particularly leafy, due to the amount of greenery and woodland surrounding. The area's main thoroughfare is the Otley Old Road.
It sits in the Weetwood ward of Leeds City Council and Leeds North West parliamentary constituency.
The district is close to the Holt Park, Cookridge and Tinshill areas and the Leeds Ring Road.
