Leeds - To Do ??
T66 - 21/11/13 at 05:14 PM

Son moves into his new apartment in Leeds in the morning, and to avoid the IKEA house fussing Ive been given the morning off to do as I please.


Ive done the Armouries, what else is worth a look at in Leeds ??

Saltaire is a World Heritage Site within a short train ride.
Not sure there's much to do in this weather, nearby moors, canal, if that's your thing.
It ought to have a museum... Some nice buildings to look at.
Saltairevillage.info for more info...

You can park at or near Crossgates station for free, then it's a tenner return to York. I prefer this to paying fuel and parking in York.

However I would agree that the best thing to do in Leeds is a day trip to York!

If you should find yourself in Leeds on evening wondering where to eat, I would highly recommend going to Fuji Hiro. Japanese food without rival.

If you like engineering this little engine always makes me smile

small derv engine

Not sure if many of the a4 Pacifics are still there. But train in is a good call as it's 5 min walk from station.
