Gledhow is a suburb of north-east Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, situated east of Chapel Allerton and west of Roundhay. (It is within the Roundhay City Council Ward.) A major feature of the area is Gledhow Valley, a strip of mixed deciduous woodland with a beck and lake. A bathhouse dating from 1671, the Gipton Spa, is in the woods. Running through the valley is Gledhow Valley Road, built in 1926.
Gledhow Lane crosses Gledhow Valley Road and on the Eastern side is a steep road up from the valley. The residential area near the top is known locally as "Little Switzerland". In the area at the top of Gledhow Lane is Gledhow Hall, a 17th-century mansion house and grade II listed building, once the home of James Kitson, 1st Baron Airedale. It is now private flats. J. M. W. Turner painted a watercolour view of Gledhow Hall in about 1816; he "stayed at the Hall for some days, gathering sketches". Nearby is another Georgian country house, Gledhow Mount Mansion. Its surrounding land, like that of Gledhow Hall, was subdivided in recent decades.
Within the boundary of Gledhow is Gledhow Primary School on Lidgett Lane.
There is also Roundhay School and Kerr Mackie primary school adjacent to each other off Gledhow Lane easternmost of the area and to the northernmost of the area are Allerton Grange School and Moor Allerton Hall Primary School, also adjacent to each other.
