"One of the most notable landmarks in Leeds is also one of the most impressive buildings. The Corn Exchange, designed by Cuthbert Brodrick, has been at the centre of the city for more than 150 years. A key trading post in its heyday, the façade of this dominating circular building is certainly impressive with its many windows, sandstone base and iron-crested dome."
"This beautiful Victorian building was built in 1862, and is currently home to a number of independent shops and food outlets. It’s a Grade I listed building, and it was originally built (as the name suggests) as a building where traders could exchange corn. It’s one of only three corn exchanges left in the UK."
"Leeds Corn Exchange is a Grade 1* listed building and shopping centre based in the heart of Kirkgate, Leeds. Designed by revered British architect Cuthbert…"
"The Henry Moore Institute in Leeds, 74 The Headrow, Leeds, LS1 3AH. Founded by Henry Moore himself, who claimed “there wasn’t a single piece of sculpture in my home town” (Castleton) while “Leeds Art Gallery had nothing of any value”, today the institute boasts one of the strongest public collections of sculpture in Britain, and leads an ambitious programme of exhibitions and research designed to ‘make a significant impact on the future of art history’."
"English artist Henry Spencer Moore is known for his beautiful bronze sculptures that are located all over the world and open for public viewing in parks and streets. The Henry Moore Institute proudly houses an extensive collection of Thomas Moore, as well as emerging talents' artwork and is one of the largest sculpture galleries in Europe. The gallery was founded in 1993 and quickly gained popularity and the reputation of a classy cultural venue."
"Art lovers will relish the opportunity to explore this extensive collection of the sculpture works of Henry Moore with over 15,000 objects including drawings and textiles on display. The gallery also features a variety of temporary exhibitions from other artists, and it hosts regular evening events, talks and discussions."
"The landmark clock is located at the western end of Thornton’s Arcade. It has wooden sculptures of people and a huge bell. The sculptures are colorful, vibrant, and life-size."
"Dominating the city centre is Trinity Leeds, an almost labyrinthine collection of the biggest shopping brands Leeds has to offer. The shopping centre opened in 2013, bringing the former Trinity and Buton Arcades under one shiny glass roof and redeveloping the Leeds Shopping Plaza into Trinity West. The is also home to the Everyman Cinema and a range of restaurants, plus Trinity Kitchen, a street-food-style food court with regular pop-up eateries and a proescco bar."
"Trinity Leeds continues to wow, with its imaginative use of space and wide range of shops. There’s Lego and The Entertainer to keep the kids happy, a large Apple Store, the sweet temptations of Lindt and that’s before you’ve even got round to the fashion offering. With Urban Outfitters, Next, Hollister and Victoria’s Secret here, there’s something for everyone."
"map Located just south of York near the interchange of the A64 and A19, 10 mins drive from the city centre. York Designer Outlet runs the Red Line Park & Ride bus, which operates from the railway station every 10 mins. Look out for the branded bus at the front of the station."

"Lotte Inch Gallery first came to York in 2012 in the form of a pop-up art gallery space – but many glorious years later and after several small pop-up exhibitions, the gallery moved from its previous space near York Minster to its current location in bustling 14 Bootham. The eponymous Lotte comes from a background in Art History and Heritage, having worked for The National Trust; Scampston Hall and Gardens; and The Stanley & Audrey Burton Gallery at The University of Leeds, amongst others – making her a mastermind when it comes to art. The gallery is the ideal place to discover new artists, designers and makers, alongside established names and figures, hoping to be a “welcoming and inclusive place with a regularly changing programme of exhibitions."
"What sometimes feels like a historical reenactment is actually a fully functioning and fantastic way to shop in style!. Nestled in the heart of the city, between Parliament Street and the ever-popular Shambles, the 70 stalls host a variety of wares and crafts. From handmade cheeses and alcoholic rarities like mead (if they offer you a free sample – take it) to arts and crafts and beautiful floral bouquets, the markets are a sensory experience even if you aren’t willing to spend."
"Tucked behind the Shambles is the market where you can take in the bustling atmosphere and enjoy meandering the 85 stalls that are usually open on a daily basis. The market sells everything from local produce to baked goods to flowers, cosmetics, clothing, gifts, books, and handmade crafts. Even if you don’t spend any money, the atmosphere alone is worth a visit!"
"Next to The Shambles street, there is also The Shambles market. It’s full of local goods to take home and delicious treats to taste as well. The buildings that surround this market are pretty amazing and my favourite has to be Gert and Henry’s Pub (I know, another black and white timbered building, but they’re just so photogenic!)."
"Many of Britain’s most well recognised historical figures were born in Yorkshire, and the Brontë sisters are no exception. Kept inside their old house in Haworth, the Passage Museum contains the largest collection of their manuscripts, letters and other writings anywhere in the world. A true beacon of literary history."
"The best of Haworth's Brontë sights is this somber Georgian (1778) house where the sisters grew up. It displays original furniture (some…"
"If you're looking for somewhere with a bit of history, then look no further than Kirkstall Abbey. The giant Gothic building is a former Cistercian monastery which was built in the 12th Century and the sheer scale of the structure is still breathtaking (and award-winning) in this day and age. Nowadays though, it embraces modern life with a monthly market and other events inside the walls of the Abbey, while the open spaces on the banks of the River Aire are the perfect spot to unwind."
"In the secluded valley of the River Rye about 3 miles west of Helmsley, amid fields and woods loud with birdsong, stand the magnificent ruins of Rievaulx Abbey (ree-voh). The extensive remains give a wonderful sense of the size and complexity of the community that once lived here, and their story is fleshed out in a series of fascinating exhibits in a new museum. There's also a cafe with floor-to-ceiling windows and outdoor terrace from which to gawp at the ruins."
"Bella Italia’s bottomless brunch offer is absolutely amazing, and you can make the most of it from Friday to Sunday for just £27.99 per person, which is great!. For that price you not only get bottomless bubbles, you also get two delicious courses of some of Italy’s finest. How about bruschetta and a lasagne?"
"Bella Italia is the perfect spot to relax and unwind with friends and family. We serve pizza, pasta and Italian classics. 89 Low Petergate, York YO1 7HY, UK"
