A lovely spot to eat your lunch in Leeds City Centre. You reach it by the bottom of the Headrow across from Leeds Town Hall. The roses in summer are lovely and some interesting architecture in the square.

Victoria Leeds has some gorgeous shops, not to mention my favourite bar in Leeds, Issho. The arcades are absolutely stunning and the staff are always lovely. With the Victoria Leeds app there are several in-store events I get invited to, competitions I can enter and much more.

Leeds and Liverpool Canal

Reviewed By therichastill - Stevenage, United Kingdom

The Leeds and Liverpool Canal was originally built in Victorian times to connect the Irish and North Seas and to transport all the good generated from the mills in the area. Today it has been restored so people can enjoy the canal either on a narrowboat or by making use of the towpath to walk or cycle along or for fishing. It stretches quite a distance so you can walk as far or as little as you want.

Yeadon Town Hall

Reviewed By JaneTess31 - Leeds, United Kingdom

It was a great start to the first Yeadon Beer Festival at Yeadon Town Hall. Great to see the venue coming back to life with more regular events. The revamped bar area is fab. Long may the team continue the good work. There were plenty of beers & ciders on offer for the festival and the Yorkshire Cheese Grill served delicious cheesy snacks. Here’s to next years event

I always have to smile when I go to Wetherby and see the police box, you expect Dr Who to jump out on you! A nice feature, which I hope will remain for many years.

The Navvies Memorial

Reviewed By parkin660735 - Otley, United Kingdom

The Navvies Memorial is the only one of its kind in the country, and is situated on the north side of Otley Parish Churchyard. This Grade 11 listed building is a memorial to those who died during the construction of the Bramhope Tunnel. It is reported to be the only monument like it in the country. If you Google either Bramhope Tunnel or Navvies Monument you can learn more of its story. It has recently been taken into the care of the local council and is being renovated with funding from the National Lottery, the Railway Trust and other donations. Look for the sign post on Kirkgate, he main street in Otley and pop up to have a look.
