==Geography== ===Divisions and suburbs=== [[File:Aerial photographs taken from Ainsty View, Wetherby (3rd May 2021) 006.jpg|thumb|right|Deighton Road divides the areas of Ainsty (left) and Deighton Bar (right)]] * [[Ainsty, Wetherby|Ainsty]] is in the north of Wetherby, off the B1224 Deighton Road. Its earliest buildings date from the 1940s, made up of [[council housing|council]] and private housing. Much of the area was built by developer [[Norman Ashton]] in the 1960s. * [[Hallfield]], in the south-east, is a large council estate and has some houses built by the prison service and some sheltered housing. The area is home to Wetherby High School, St James' Primary School, the cemetery, the Church on the Corner and Mason House Community Centre. A new medical centre has been built on the edge of the estate on the site of the demolished Hallfield Mansion. * [[Micklethwaite, Wetherby|Micklethwaite]] was a village in its own right, but its identity as a separate area has disappeared since the Micklethwaite Farm's buildings were demolished in the 2000s and replaced by 150 dwellings known as ''Micklethwaite''. It is situated south of the River Wharfe and contains the [[police station]], magistrates court, the [[Mercure (hotel)|Mercure]] Hotel and the town's leisure centre and swimming baths. * Deighton Bar is situated in the north-east, bordering Ainsty and Sandbeck and the village of [[Kirk Deighton]] in North Yorkshire, as is one street in Deighton Bar, Autumn Avenue. The oldest houses are in a row of terrace houses on Deighton Road. The area is home to Deighton Gates primary school between Ainsty and Deighton Bar. Most housing was built in the late 1970s by [[Barratt Developments]]. * Barleyfields is a residential area of housing in central Wetherby. Its oldest houses are large Victorian terraces on Sandringham Terrace and the former quarry workers' cottages behind Prospect Villas. The area is situated in the middle of a large triangular dismantled railway junction. It is home to St Joseph's Primary School, Crossley Street Primary School and Barleyfields Community Centre. * Sandbeck is home to the Sandbeck Industrial Estate, some 1960s Norman Ashton houses and some 1970s council houses. * Linton Park View is an affluent area of private houses, mostly built in the 1970s between Spofforth Hill and Linton Lane in the north-west of Wetherby. * Spofforth Hill, named after the road that passes through it, is an affluent area off the A661. It contains many large detached houses from Victorian times onwards. In the 1980s and 1990s, the area was expanded after Shepherd Homes built a housing estate on former agricultural land called the ''Glebe Field Estate''. ===Weather and climate=== [[File:Access to King Georges field.jpg|thumb|right|King George's Field, [[Wetherby Ings]]]] Wetherby has a cool, fairly moist climate with changeable weather year-round.
