Experience the best of Leeds

Leeds is West Yorkshire's big city, a Victorian centre of arcades and markets with galleries, a waterfront and the Yorkshire Dales within reach.

Leeds grew in the nineteenth century on wool, cloth and engineering, and its Victorian centre shows it in the grand Town Hall, the oval Corn Exchange and the glass-roofed shopping arcades of the Victoria Quarter. Kirkgate Market is one of the biggest covered markets in Europe, and it is where Michael Marks first set up the penny bazaar that grew into a national retailer.

The Royal Armouries Museum at Leeds Dock displays arms and armour from across the world, and the Leeds Art Gallery and the Henry Moore Institute stand beside each other near the Town Hall. Kirkstall Abbey, a ruined twelfth-century Cistercian abbey, lies beside the River Aire, and Temple Newsam is a grand house in parkland to the east. Saltaire, a World Heritage mill village, and the Yorkshire Dales are within easy reach.

Yorkshire pudding, roast beef and gravy, pork pies and Wensleydale cheese are the old favourites, and forced rhubarb is grown in dark sheds and picked by candlelight in the Rhubarb Triangle between Leeds, Bradford and Wakefield. Pubs pour Yorkshire ales. Summers are mild and winters cold, with rain at any time of year.
