Gledhow is a suburb of north east Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, east of Chapel Allerton and west of Roundhay.

It sits in the Roundhay ward of Leeds City Council and Leeds North East parliamentary constituency.

Description

Gledhow Valley is a strip of mixed deciduous woodland on either side of a beck and lake. Gipton Spa, a bathhouse dating from 1671, is in the woods.[1] Passing through the valley is Gledhow Valley Road, built in 1926.[2]

Gledhow Lane crosses Gledhow Valley Road and on the eastern side is a steep road up from the valley. The residential area near the top is known as "Little Switzerland".[3]
