"At 55 hectares, Golden Acre Park has plenty of space for you to stretch your legs. You’ll find heather gardens, wildfowl lakes, woodland gardens and even a cherry orchard on the grounds, so there’s lots of exploring to be done here. Follow the paths or off-road and see where your adventure takes you."

"Beautiful Aysgarth Falls are a favourite of Yorkshire folk (me included) and is one of the closest waterfalls in the Yorkshire Dales to the city of York. Aysgarth Falls consists of three separate waterfalls that plunge over wide limestone steps during a one mile stretch of the River Ure. The three falls of Upper Force, Middle Force and Lower Force can be viewed from a pushchair friendly path that winds in and out of woodland alongside the river."

"Aysgarth Falls is one of Yorkshire’s most renowned waterfalls. Set on the fast-flowing River Ure, it’s actually a series of three cascading falls carved into the river. A tourist attraction for over 200 years, it’s been the inspiration of Wordsworth and has even been featured in a Hollywood movie – Robin Hood Prince of Thieves."

It was constructed on the previous site of Manningham Hall using a gift of £40,000 given by Samuel Lister and it is named after Edmund Cartwright.

"This is an art gallery that features both modern and ancient art. Located in the picturesque Lister Park, this is a gallery you would not want to miss out on, especially when it is free entry.

"Rather than being your trendy, modern coffee shop, it’s a traditional café with smooth, Italian coffee and the ultimate bacon sandwiches – think plenty of crispy bacon on freshly baked focaccia bread. All the food here is great in taste and portion size, along with the milkshakes and the cakes, and you’ll always get the friendliest service. It’s not really the kind of café I’d go and work in, but I’d definitely spend a lazy weekend morning in there eating my way through the menu at this Leeds coffee shop."

"San Co.co is a cheap and cheerful cafe that prides itself on being a fuss-free eatery. You can start with a coffee or one of their huge range of Twining teas, before choosing something from the menu.

Using Caffe Vero Italian coffee blends from Nottingham, they offer a slew of tremendous brews, including an awesome macchiato and a delicious iced coffee. Their little cafe is the perfect spot to stop for a brew, and watch the world go by, but don’t be surprised if you’re tempted in by the food."

The city was founded way back in Roman times, so it has a rich history and loads of things to see. The view from its impressive city walls will leave you speechless, and you certainly must see York Minster. Apart from those, there are plenty medieval monuments left from the age when the Normans ruled here."
