Regardless of the time of year, the Museum Gardens always look in pristine condition and there are ample places for you to get a good pic for the ‘gram.

"A shop-come-bar in Horsforth, Once Upon a Vine is a great spot to pick up a special bottle (as well as offering you the option to ‘drink in’ with a plate of charcuterie, too!) They have plenty of wines from all over the world, but went through a list of more than a hundred natural wines to whittle down to a selection they consider the best. Having specialised in wine whilst working at Majestic and then Ham and Friends, the owner Simon thought it was time to go it alone in 2018, so set up this neighbourhood gem. As his wife is Yorkshire Wine School’s Laura, wine is definitely a bit of a family interest!"

Of course, you can get all your battered favourites to takeaway – their whopping king-sized haddock fillet is a must-try for all fish & chip fiends – but they also do a medley of more refined seafood dishes in the restaurant. Expect plates of crisp tempura tiger prawns, aromatic monkfish curries and smoky seafood grills."
