Mentioned by England 14 days itinerary
2 Weeks in the UK–my Perfect UK Trip Itinerary
"One of the most complete medieval abbeys in the UK, Kirkstall Abbey was founded over 800 years ago as a Cistercian Abbey. It’s another great free day out in Leeds with kids, with regular family events and activities during holidays, including trails and art packs. Whenever you visit, you can stroll through the ruined abbey buildings and the lovely parkland on the banks of the river, plus more about the monks who lived here, on display at the visitor centre."
"We talk about Kirkstall Abbey a lot, but it’s only because it really is very special. Built sometime around 1152, this ancient abbey was inhabited by monks for almost four centuries, until Henry VIII closed all of the monasteries down. There’s so much history here, and while wandering around you can really begin to imagine what the abbey was like almost 1000 years ago, when it was first built."
"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."
"Look no further than East 59th, a rooftop bar and restaurant channelling New York vibes. Venture up for one of the best bottomless brunches in the city, enjoyed in their chic dining room or out on their gorgeous terrace."
"Address: Victoria Gate, 3rd Floor Rooftop, George St, Leeds LS2 7AU. Phone number: 0113 426 5050. Price: From £29 per person"
"Clifford's Tower is an excellent first stop when visiting York. The panoramic views from the top of the tower give visitors a spectacular overview of Old Minister, York, and the North York Views. The tower is situated on a tall hill, perfect for providing defense to York."
"To see a fantastic panorama of York and take some great photos, head to the Clifford’s Tower. The entry price is a bit high for what the place has to order. However, it’s excellent for photos that you’re going to take there."
"As part of the ever popular Capri group, Capri @ The Vine on Leeds road opened its door in 2016 after the success of sister restaurant Capri in Horbury. Upon entry the impressive décor is something that is well worth a visit.

"Having first opened its doors in Chapel Allerton over 15 years ago, it’s the result of the passion and dedication of former Bangkok street food sensation Ban Kaewkraikhot. Although the original Chapel Allerton restaurant is still a flourishing culinary destination, they’ve since opened another restaurant nearer to the city centre (and a few more across Yorkshire.). Sukhothai is well regarded for both their service and their food, with an extensive and finely tuned menu of exquisite Thai dishes, which are as aromatic in smell as they are in flavour."
"Sukhothai offers an all you can eat buffet at their Chapel Allerton restaurant on Sunday afternoons. You can indulge in all manner of delicious Thai delicacies for a bargain price. They serve up a medley of dishes, ranging from lemongrass-battered prawns and spring rolls to Thai curries, noodles and stir-fries – all you need to do is keep going back for more."
"A survivor of Yorkshire’s ancient fenlands, dating back 15,000 years, Askham Bog is considered one of the most ecologically diverse sites in the UK. The bog itself is made of boulder clay and fen peat, while the land around it is home to roe deer, foxes, newts and frogs. Plants include royal ferns, rare gingerbread sedge and whole rivers of water violets."
"Rodley Nature Reserve is a nature reserve dedicated to bringing wetland wildlife back in the area of Leeds. With regular sightings of different birds like owls, kingfishers, kestrels, lapwings and many others, you would certainly enjoy traversing the different paths that they have and be closer to nature through the amazing sights that they offer. A hidden gem, this wetland reserve can be considered a haven that offers a relaxing tour and walks around the area."

"Leeds isn’t short of cracking curry houses by any means, but Tharavadu gets a special mention here for its Kerala cuisine. The menu, inspired by the south-west state of Kerala in India, includes traditional street foods, breakfast dishes, soups and dosa, with handy explanations of the cultural significance of its dishes. It also offers an express lunch deal with a feast of three curries, a side dish, rice, dosa and chutneys, for less than a tenner."
