It has retained a good selection of amenities over the years from cafes to public houses. More recently the village store has re-opened and offers an excellent range of produce. The village has its own primary school and is within the catchment area for Ilkley Grammar and Prince Henry's secondary school. It benefits from a substantial park area with tennis courts, churches of several denominations and a community centre.
Menston is well situated for access to the Moors meaning wonderful hiking/running/cycling territory is on the doorstep. In summary, Menston gives residents the opportunity to live in an area surrounded by natural beauty while also taking advantage of the wider amenities offered by the neighbouring towns and the City of Leeds.
