Fearnville is a small area of Leeds which has boundaries with Roundhay, Seacroft, Oakwood, Gipton and Harehills. Fearnville is commonly described as being part of Roundhay or Oakwood, although it is classed as being in the Killingbeck and Seacroft ward. =Fearnville Leisure Centre= Fearnville Leisure Centre, off of Oakwood Lane is a fitness/leisure centre used alot by residents from Fearnville and the surrounding areas. It offers a variety of facilities, such as swimming, gym and football. There is also a crown green bowling club on the grounds, although this is usually seen as not being part of Fearnville Leisure Centre. =Fearnville Hall= Fearnville Hall (sometimes reffered to as Fearnville House) is a small country house, located off of Dib Lane, behind a row of houses. Fearnville Hall is a Grade 2 listed building, built in the early 19th century. The building is a two story house, made with grit stone and ashlar with a slate roof. Currently, Fearnville Hall is in a very poor state of repair. The grounds of the house are open through the driveway off of Dib Lane, apart from part of a tree trunk placed in the driveway to try to deter fly tippers from using the ground. The grounds being open has meant that there has been alot of vandalism caused to the building, which has resulted in alot of the windows and doors being covered with metal sheets. =Amenities= Dib Lane is the main shopping parade in Fearnville. This shopping parade is split into two parts by houses and a pub, The Grange. The Grange pub is built on the site of an old manor house, and was named after the manor house, which sometimes causes people to confuse Fearnville Hall with The Grange. Dib Lane consists of alot of shops and takeaways, aswell as a veterinary surgery, pharmacy and hair dressers. There is also a small shopping parade opposite Fearnville Leisure Centre which mainly consists of takeaways. On the boundary of Fearnville and Oakwood/Roundhay, there is a Co-op supermarket and small shopping parade aswell as a McDonalds.
