Busy and cosmopolitan, Leeds is a lively and hospitable host to its visitors. Once heavily industrialised, Leeds has bounced back from a grim, run down, worn out city to an entertaining and colourful place with loads of energy!

Places to visit while here should include the Victorian Quarter with its elegant shopping arcade’s impressively colourful stained glass ceiling. The Leeds waterfront is newly rejuvenated with the help of major sponsorship and the National Lottery. Weekends in Leeds should be spent enjoying the jolly Festival Market on the waterfront here.

The City Centre is where to head for shopping. Here you will enjoy pedestrianised streets and plenty of stylishly ornate shopping arcades to entice you to shop to your heart's content come rain or shine.

For a trip down memory lane, take a drive out of town to Thwaite Mill, a nineteenth century restored riverside cottage. This is a perfect location for a peaceful picnic and a break from lively city centre action.
