Calverley is a leafy village‑suburb on the outskirts of Leeds in West Yorkshire, England, sitting in the Aire valley a few miles west of the city centre. It still looks and feels like a village, with stone terraces and detached houses clustered around a small high street, green spaces and quiet lanes close to the River Aire, making it popular with commuters who want easy access to the city while keeping a village atmosphere.
The area is notable for historic buildings such as Calverley Old Hall and a long association with the Calverley family, including a notorious early‑17th‑century family tragedy that forms part of local lore. Today Calverley has a strong community life with local pubs, clubs and conservation protections that preserve its historic character even as it functions as a residential and commuter community for Leeds.
