This Leeds suburb has been named one of the coolest places to live by The Sunday Times

The newspaper has compiled a list of eleven places it thinks are the coolest places to live in the UK this year.

And one suburb in Leeds has been featured on the list.

Farsley, just six miles west of the city centre, is officially one of the coolest places to live in the UK.

So if you already live there, you can pat yourself on the back and show off to your mates about how cool and hip you really are.

According to the feature, Farsley has “all the cultural catnip that hipster dads can’t get enough of.”

“Once a sleepy suburb, this neighbourhood has become the focus for Birkenstock Boston-clad, Radio 6 Music-listening dads.” 

Sounds like our type of town if you ask us.

It praises micro-brewery Amity Brew Co, claiming that “the terrace is the place to hang out on a sunny day with a pint of Waterpistol Juicy Pale Ale”.

It also mentions The Mill Kitchen as a great spot to get some grub, and performance venue the Old Woollen for its huge range of events.

Other neighbourhoods mentioned were Hoole in Cheshire, Hull in East Yorkshire, Newport in Wales and Newlyn in Cornwall.

Speaking about Hull, the feature said: “The former fruit and veg markets and warehouses lining the city’s old marina are chock-a-block with independents, while its hipsterish dining scene is thronging with exciting openings.”

So if you’re looking to up your cool factor then get yourself over to Farsley, it’s a fantastic suburb with a proper community feel with loads of stuff to do that’ll make for a great day out.

Just beware of Birkenstock-wearing dads as you wander around.
