Latest house prices for Allerton Bywater, Castleford

Allerton Bywater sits on the northern bank of the River Aire, positioned geographically between Castleford and the village of Kippax. Historically, the village was defined by the coal industry, but since the closure of the colliery in the 1990s, the landscape has shifted significantly. The site of the former pit has been repurposed into a Millennium Community, a large-scale development that integrates modern housing with the natural environment. To the south and west, the area is bordered by the Fairburn Ings nature reserve and the St Aidan’s wetland site, which provide extensive trails through reclaimed industrial land. While it falls under the Leeds City Council boundary, the village maintains a distinct semi-rural character, with essential amenities concentrated along Main Street and easy road access to the A1(M) and nearby rail links in Castleford.
