"Clifford’s Tower is one of York’s most iconic landmarks, and is largely all that remains of the eminent York Castle. Over its thousand year history, Clifford’s Tower has operated in a number of different functions, housing everything from kings to criminals, cannons to cows. Constructed by William the Conqueror in 1086, the first Clifford’s Tower was a wooden structure placed high on the motte that still stands today."
"At one point the majestic centerpiece of York Castle, this historic keep has had a long and troubled life. Originally built to intimidate and subdue the Viking north by William the Conqueror, it has been twice burned to the ground in its lifespan. The other surviving fragments of the castle (such as the bailey wall and parts of the south gatehouse) blend seamlessly into the bustling city streets."
"Clifford's Tower was once the site of a timber keep built by William the Conqueror. The current incarnation of Clifford's Tower has looked over the city of York since 1245. Part of York Castle, the tower played a role in the Dissolution of the Monasteries and the English Civil War."

"It is on the eastern side of the centre of Glossop and fringes onto the Conservation Area of Old Glossop. There is a car park at Corn Mill and on-street parking is available nearby. Again, it's not technically a theme park, but with this much going on for free, it deserves a mention."

"This much-beloved watering hole is the sister bar to one of Leeds’ oldest pub, Whitelocks. Whilst the former is the place to head for the more classic ales, Turks Head is the more modern choice, with a plethora of interesting craft ales, gins, and cocktails. The beer garden which sits in the alleyway just off Briggate is lively and atmospheric all year round, with plenty of seating, and canopies with heaters for those unpredictable British summer days."
"20/07/2021: Been going to this place for many years as food is good but service is going down massively. Waited for 15 minutes for somebody to take order as people at front were just chatting with their friends. Finally gave up and went to Nusret Shawarma."
"19/04/2021: nowNEWSaw this restaurant on BBC 1 where Ainsley Harriot & Len Goodman visited. I was not disappointed. Tried the Lamb on the Bone, by far the best in the UK."
"This is a slightly different twist on bottomless brunch, and it’s one of the best that Leeds has to offer. Bar Soba serves Pan-Asian street food, and the bottomless brunch will have you choosing from dishes such as a katsu curry or a pad thai, which certainly makes a change from the usual bottomless brunch offerings you’ll find!. Bar Soba offers two options: Option 1 is £25pp and allows you to choose from prosecco or bottles of Tsingtao or Sol, while option two also lets you choose from a number of Bar Soba’s cocktails for the slightly higher price of £30pp."
"What: A quaint spot for eggs and a glass of fizz or two with your mother-in-law Bar Soba is definitely not, but if you’re looking to kick-start your weekend in funky surroundings with plenty of bottomless booze, it’s just the ticket. There are two bottomless brunch packages available: one limited to free-flowing prosecco and bottled beer and another that also includes selected cocktails. You won’t find the usual breakfast dishes here so instead get ready to tuck into Pan-Asian dishes like katsu curry and pad Thai.Where: 6 Greek St, Leeds, LS1 5RW"
