Best French Bakery in Harewood

"In the 11th century William the Conqueror granted the lands on which the park stands to Ilbert de Lacy for his support in the Harrying of the North in the winter 1069–70. De Lacy, who founded Pontefract Castle, was a knight from Normandy. During the 13th century, the area was used as a hunting park for the de Lacys, who were the Lords of Bowland on the Yorkshire-Lancaster border."

"To the east the area is clearly defined by the impressive cliffs of the North Sea coast. The northern and western boundaries are defined by the steep scarp slopes of the Cleveland Hills edging the Tees lowlands and the Hambleton Hills above the Vale of Mowbray. To the south lies the broken line of the Tabular Hills and the Vale of Pickering."

"Portland stone lion statue, showing erosion of the soft stone. Victoria Hall showing the pipe organ and stage. The Town Hall is classical in style but suggestive of power and drama."

"Yet another establishment found within Micklegate, Partisan is a trendy and independent coffee shop, which transforms into a restaurant in the evening. The menu’s diverse, and changes every week – as a result, it’s difficult to make a solid recommendation on which dish to choose, however, the principles at Partisan are clear – they value seasonality, allow the ingredients to do the talking and provide a relaxed, indulgent experience for diners. They were this year highlighted as one of the best restaurants in York by the Good Food Guide, which described “This distinctive arrival on blossoming Micklegate is principally a daytime café with a rustic ambience."

"Again, this one involves eggs, especially on the daytime menu. But if that’s not a problem for you, then you will love this quirky spot. If you don’t eat eggs then you still have options and some very tasty ones too."

"09/05/2021: Had breakfast here a couple of times while staying in York. Absolutely fantastic food and great service. Best gluten free bread I have had and the cakes also great."

"They always have a great selection of cakes, brownies and pastries too. Beautiful ambience, excellent food & delicious cakes. The wonderful staff provides a first class service."

"What: Satisfying the breakfast cravings of Leeds folk from 8am every day, Crust and Crumb is a bakery-cum-café where you can expect to find pastries galore. Aside from the homemade cakes and freshly baked bread, there are also a few top-notch breakfast dishes – think halloumi and avocado on sourdough or a sweet potato rosti.Where: 110B Harrogate Road, LS7 4NY"

"I love ‘Teapot – Tea or Coffee‘ for their huge range of loose leaf teas (over 100 of them!), their ultra-smooth coffee using self-roasted coffee beans and their delectable cakes. The team are passionate about traveling the globe in the name of tea research, but they also pride themselves on keeping things small and local. All teas are handpicked, custom blended and brewed at optimum temperature with the highest level of care."

"From sweet crêpes to fluffy American pancakes and authentic Breton galletes, there’s so many options you’ll be positively spoilt for choice. If you’re after something savoury, you can get a gallete with cheese, creamed spinach and Lishman’s ham."

"Left Bank Leeds is one of the city’s most unusual gallery spaces. Formerly St Margaret’s Anglican church, this grade II-listed building was transformed into a community space in 2002. It hosts art exhibitions on a regular basis."

"Ripley Castle near Harrogate is a child friendly estate which offers regular castle tours especially for children. The children’s tours are a child friendly length of 45 minutes but there are also adult tours available. The extensive grounds of the estate include a deer park, a small children’s play area and a pretty walled kitchen garden so are ideal for a good run around."

"Very close to our Yorkshire Dales distillery in Kettlesing, Ripley Castle is among the best things to see in the Yorkshire Dales. Over 700 years old; the castle has lakes, a deer park, walled gardens, hothouses and more to explore. The grounds are particularly attractive in Spring, when they’re in full bloom."

"Ripley Castle and Gardens, near Harrogate, is an historic attraction open to the public all year round and makes for a fascinating and entertaining day out, in a beautiful location."

"Marigold Café and Boating is situated in Knaresborough on the banks of the River Nidd, one of Yorkshire’s most picturesque settings. Marigold in Knaresborough enjoys an enviable riverside location at the bottom of the Nidd Gorge. And here’s a thought: how often is it the case that, after travelling far and wide, we realise that true happiness is to be found in our own backyard?"

"The Tiled Hall Cafe is one of my favourite spots in Leeds to get some work done or enjoy a cup of tea and a piece of cake with a friend. Located in the same building as Leeds Central Library and Leeds Art Gallery, this space originally functioned as a reading room for the library. High ceilings and plenty of light create a spacious, airy environment, whilst grand marble columns, thousands of colourful tiles and gold details on the ceiling make the space feel more like a room in a palace than one of Leeds’ coffee shops."

"The Tiled Hall Cafe has replaced the old reading room at Leeds Central Library, but its lost none of its original grandeur. It’s a beautiful venue with iconic tiled walls and ceilings, in fact, it’s almost an attraction in its own right. The cafe has a simple menu of sandwiches, salads and soups, as well as a few hot specials that change every day."

"Enjoy the stunning architecture of the Tiled Hall café at the entrance to Leeds Art Gallery where you will find drinks, snacks, meals and a children’s menu."

"Enjoy a little fresh air with an invigorating walk around Chevin Forest Park, a short drive from Leeds overlooking the town of Otley. The walk shows off the best of Yorkshire’s natural scenery, taking in dramatic views, rocky outcrops and moorlands scattered with beautiful purple heather."

"With tree-lined walkways, vast swathes of grassland and a traditional bandstand where live entertained play during the summer, Horsforth Hall Park is a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The Japanese gardens are its crowning glory – created in 1987, they reflect the diverse landscapes of the Japanese isles and create a place of contemplation for visitors. The park also has a skate park and a cricket pitch."

"For those who live in Horsforth, it's no secret that this place becomes swamped in the summer months and it's got a bit of everything. If you fancy burning off a few calories then the Trim Trail is one of the best around and it's also plenty big enough for a quick game of cricket or football, but the highlight is undoubtedly the stunning Japanese Garden."

"Just north of Rodley Nature Reserve is this park with a Japanese garden, trails and plenty more. The main entrance is off Hall Lane, Horsforth"
