50 Must Visit Landmarks and Attractions in Leeds
"You’ll find one of the biggest parks in Europe three miles north of Leeds city centre. Roundhay Park is a beautiful outdoor space that covers a massive 700 acres, with landscaped gardens, rolling parkland and two scenic lakes. It’s a great place to get back to nature, but you’ll also find a few man-made attractions here that are just as worthy of your time – think adventure playgrounds, sports pitches, tennis courts and a skate park."

Where To Go Designer Shopping in Leeds
"Designed by Frank Matcham in 1904 and redeveloped in 1990, the Victoria Quarter is a traditional shopping arcade with the most beautiful architecture. Under its famous stained glass roof, two parallel rows of shops house some of the best designer stores in Leeds. Here, you’ll find England’s only stand-alone Louis Vuitton shop outside the capital, along with two floors of luxury goods at Mulberry and gorgeous leather accessories straight-from New York at Coach."

Designed by theatre architect Frank Matcham, it is easy to see the influences of more dramatic structures.
