The Best Cheap Eats in Leeds
"Falafel Guys‘ street food van serves some of the most amazing food in Leeds. Their Arabic wraps are to die for, and they are absolutely full to the brim with delicious fillings. It may only operate on a takeaway basis, but it’s a great option to stop by for lunch on a day out shopping, as it’s pretty centrally located too."
"A humble street food van outside M&S on Briggate, Falafel Guys has no seating. We’ll get that out the way now in case it’s a deal breaker for your family. But if you’re looking for a bite-to-go, or even something to take home and devour later, this is a great place to eat with kids."
"02/05/2021: Very rude staff , dirty behaviour, as if dons , just another rubbish, think they are bigger than mcdonalds and kfc UPSTARTS , typical newly rich desis. 27/03/2021: Really great service and amazing tasting food, so much on the menu to choose from!. Favourite takeaway place in Leeds, will be coming again and again."
"At Skyreholme near the village of Appletreewick in Wharfedale, Parcevall Hall is a Grade II* listed manor house with 24 acres of stunning landscaped gardens that are perfect for picnics. The gardens are one of the most peaceful places to visit in the Yorkshire Dales."
"Within the tranquil grounds, visitors will find many facets of the garden: woodland walks, formal areas, south facing terraces, a limestone rock garden and a beautiful rose garden."
"One of the most popular family attractions in Leeds, Tropical World makes for a fantastic day out. It’s home to one of the biggest collections of tropical plants outside of Kew Gardens, but that’s not what’s going to have the kids excited, because you’ll also find a medley of animals here. You’ll peer into tanks of piranhas, catch a glimpse of their crocodile and walk through rooms filled with butterflies, birds and even bats (don’t worry, there’s a wall of glass to protect you in that one)."
"One of the largest parks in Europe, Roundhay Park – not far from the city centre – stretches over a whopping 700 acres. With lakes and woodland in the park, as well as activities galore and some open-air theatre in summer, you can also visit Tropical World, the largest collection of tropical plants outside Kew Gardens. There are also a string of walking routes, including past the castle ruins and around the lake, and several play areas to entertain younger kids."
"Fitting in perfectly with our list is Tropical World, which is actually situated in Roundhay Park. This is fantastic for you, not only is it a popular attraction but it will also offer you some shelter from the weather should it turn bad. There is a small admission fee of £5 for adults, or £2.50 for children, but it’s more than worth it for what you’ll be seeing."
"Pavement Vaults is yet another one of the best places to eat and drink in York as it serves a hearty selection of both yummy food and alcoholic beverages and is a great place to enjoy a more intimate drink with friends, family or your partner. There’s a small downstairs area with comfortable booths that’s great if you want to be a little more removed from the hustle and bustle of the bar upstairs. 2 Piccadilly, York YO1 9NU"
"A Chapel Allerton favourite that’s just as popular in the day as at night. Great for breakfast, afternoon tea, Sunday roast and have a great children’s menu. 16-18 Steinbeck Lane, Leeds."
"Based in Horsforth, the kids will have a great time meeting the animals in the fields, including rheas, donkeys, geese, alpacas, prairie dogs, hens, goats and even a peacock. The grown ups, on the other hand, will enjoy browsing their shop where you can pick up fresh cuts of beef, chicken, pork, lamb and even their own handmade burgers. If you’re into fishing, make the most of their well stocked ponds which are open 7 days a week for you to grab a catch."
"Beloved by locals looking to escape the city centre, Kirkstall Abbey is the ruins of a Cistercian monastery set within a public park on the banks of a picturesque river. The abbey was built in the early 12th century by monks who had left their previous home in Barnoldswick. The ruins are remarkably well preserved and are free for visitors to wander around and admire."
"Step back in time and explore the historical ruins for free at Kirkstall Abbey. Unquestionably, the remarkable architecture is a sanctuary for all curious souls and historians alike. Learn about life as a monk in one of the most complete Cistercian monasteries in the UK and explore rich British history throughout the abbey."
