Drighlington is a small village community located at the junction of the A650 and the A58 some 4 miles from Bradford and 6 miles from Leeds.   The Junction 27 of the M62 is on the outskirts of the village giving access to the motorway network and trunk road links to all parts of the country.   The village is part of the Leeds Metropolitan area.

The village has grown up around Adwalton Moor, the site of a historic battle of the Civil War. This is a large open area designated by statute as common land is therefore safe from development

There are some 2500 households, a primary school, three churches, a small supermarket,  3 fish & chip shops, other hot food take-aways and restaurants, several pubs, a post office, a community hall, hairdressers and various other local shops.  

The village is also supported by a number of voluntary groups to help out in difficult times
