Kirkstall is situated on the [[A65 road]] which links it to [[Leeds city centre]], [[Guiseley]], [[Yeadon, West Yorkshire|Yeadon]] and [[Ilkley]]. This is crossed in the town centre by the B6157 road between [[Stanningley]] and [[Moortown, Leeds|Moortown]]. The latter crosses the River Aire on the Grade II listed [[Kirkstall Bridge]].

There are two railway lines: The [[Airedale line|Bradford line]] passes along the Aire Valley and has a railway station at [[Kirkstall Forge railway station|Kirkstall Forge]] which opened in June 2016. The [[Harrogate line]] passes near Kirkstall and Headingley station is a few minutes walk from the centre of Kirkstall. The former [[Leeds tramway]] ran through Kirkstall until it was dismantled in 1959, a substation used by the tramway is still visible on Abbey Road. There are many bus routes through Kirkstall. The [[Leeds and Liverpool Canal]] also passes through Kirkstall close to the river and its tow path provides walking, running and cycling routes to Leeds and also west to [[Rodley, West Yorkshire|Rodley]] and [[Shipley, West Yorkshire|Shipley]].
