Best Nature and Parks (RV, National, Dog, etc) in Greengates

"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."

"This park, which is four miles northeast of Leeds city centre, offers 700 acres of parkland, lakes, woodland and gardens. If it's really cold you can warm up in the indoor Tropical World, which has butterflies, birds, reptiles and even meerkats, or the early 19th century Mansion House which has a cafe. The car park is accessible via Wetherby Road, LS8 2JZ."

"It's autumn and your are itching to start planning your Bonfire Night celebrations - Roundhay Park has you covered with a massive bonfire in this beautiful park!"

"Landscaped by Capability Brown, Temple Newsam has 1,500 acres of grounds for you to explore, with stunning vistas and scenic walks. The Menagerie Ponds are one of the highlights. Each has a different personality – the first is surrounded by parkland, the second by perennials and the third by the bamboo garden."

"Golden Acre Park is popularly known for its circular lakeside walk. This 136-acres of park also offers amazing gardens and tea rooms that you can certainly enjoy. It is also near other famous parks and attractions like the Breary Marsh and Adel Dam in case you would want to go on an ultimate nature adventure."

"Another large park within the boundaries of Leeds, Golden Acre Park is perfect for a day out with the kids. Take a circular walk around the lake, explore the two nature reserves nearby and allow your children time to enjoy the playground before stopping for refreshments at the tearooms."

"Six miles north of Leeds city centre is this park (once an amusement park) which is best known for its gardens, popular tea rooms and circular lakeside walk. Reach it via Otley Road, LS16 9JY."

"The Museum Gardens are potentially my favourite place in the whole of York. 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. From St. Mary’s Abbey that provides an idyllic historic backdrop, to the plethora of trees, plants and flowers that are scattered all over the gardens, as well as the Yorkshire Museum, the Museum Gardens are an incredible place for taking pictures."

"Whether it’s one scoop or two, a cone or a tub, can you resist more than 40 mouth-wateringly good flavours?. Scrumptious salted caramel, cherry crumble and honeycomb, delicious unicorn, rainbow or marshmallow and classic strawberries and cream, chocolate and of course vanilla – just a few of the sensationally good flavours from The Ice Cream Farm here at Grass Hoppers!. Choose your tub/cone; choose your flavour; choose your extras!"

"Here’s one of the best farms in Leeds for kids, but with a difference. Hope Pastures is all about rescuing and rehabilitating horses, ponies and donkeys. After they’ve managed to do that, they let people come and visit the animals seven days a week, learning all about them and how tp look after them as you go."

"Harrogate has two main theatres which both stage regular performances of plays, concerts and stand-up comedy. Both the Royal Hall and Harrogate Theatre were built in the early 1900s but have undergone regeneration projects to make them suitable for modern performances. Harrogate Theatre is situated at and Royal Hall is at Ripon Rd, Harrogate HG1 2SY. For show listings and ticket information for both venues visit www.harrogatetheatre.co.uk."

"Kala Sangam, St. Peter’s House, 1 Forster Square, Bradford, West Yorkshire, BD1 4TY - Visit now. Kala Sangam is an intercultural arts hub based in the heart of Bradford city centre which reflects the diversity of contemporary Britain through the work it presents, the artists it supports and the communities it engages."

"As one of Leeds’ great underrated bars, The Social is a top choice for a date due to its friendly staff and fab drinks menu. Hosting regular music, games, and crafty meet ups, it’s open seven days a week, well situated en route to the Northern Quarter. You can cosy up under the twinkling fairy lights, or hit the courtyard for an afternoon in good company."

"Decked out with benches and fairy lights, there are awnings for when it rains and plenty of heaters for when it gets cold. You can enjoy an ever-changing selection of local cask ales from the bar, as well as even more on keg. They also have packed fridges full of rare and one-off brews, but if beer’s not your thing, you won’t go thirsty."

"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!"

"For the best part of two decades, the first word in house, techno and progressive dance music in Leeds has been Mint, and Mint Warehouse lives up to the name. It maintains the good work of the now-departed Mint Club, evolving the brand into a huge space with a suspended Funktion-One sound system and a terrace to make the most of any good weather that might come our way. By welcoming the likes of Seth Troxler, Jackmaster and Eats Everything in the past few years, it’s safe to say it’s one of the best clubs to go to in Leeds."
