The 'Enid Blyton' Leeds town that was my childhood playground and still has so much to offer

Garforth can be found just outside of Leeds. It's a quiet town, with schools and pubs and a somewhat village spirit. Yet some people seem to think it's not a good place to live.

With a population of around 14,957 in the 2011 census, it's a modest size with quite a lot to offer. However, it came close to the bottom of the list of the best places to live in the UK.

As someone who grew up in the town for 20 years, that's just complete nonsense. Garforth has a lot to offer, especially to those who choose to live there.
