Things to do in Leeds

Leeds has something for everyone:

Leeds has always been one of the UK’s busiest and most lively cities, but it has so much more to offer than its famous nightlife and rich heritage. Uniquely positioned in between the Peak District and the Yorkshire Dales, Leeds is a bustling city that can also provide unrivalled drives into England’s most cherished nature reserves. Whether you want to experience the greenery of the Yorkshire Dales, or travel back in time to the 1930s-themed Yorkshire Moors Railway, the city of Leeds is a great starting point.

Stunning Victorian-era architecture:

At the peak of the industrial revolution, Leeds was the manufacturing capital of the world. Many of the Victorian-era buildings are still in use, and among the most impressive of these sites is Leeds Town Hall. Built in the 1850s, this remarkable building hosts regular concerts and events that make it as exciting today as it ever was. Alternatively, Hyde Park Picture House has barely changed since opening its doors in 1914. This uniquely Victorian cinematic experience also provides some of the city’s most affordable cinema tickets.

You can discover a truly ancient part of the city at Kirkstall Abbey. This site dates all the way back to 1152, but its ruins are stunningly well preserved. With events including haunted tours and an outdoor cinema, the Abbey is a real crowd-pleaser. Just a 20-minute drive from the Abbey and bypassing the Headingley area is Harewood House. This magnificent Grade One listed country house, built in the 1760s, is perfect for afternoon tea and a stroll through the immaculate gardens.

Family fun at Roundhay Park:

For family-friendly activities in the area then you could complete your day out at Roundhay Park. It’s 20-minutes on from Harewood House, and the park contains the ever-popular Tropical World. This selection of exotic animals on show, and the immersive nature of the attraction, will be sure to capture the imagination of all visitors. Alternatively, and for families that love a physical challenge, Yorkshire’s first Go Ape course is roughly a 15-minute drive on from Roundhay Park.

Tips for Driving in Leeds

Leeds benefits from a well-connected road network making it an easy city to get to from almost anywhere in the UK.

Before starting your journey however, we’ve gathered some helpful driving information:

  • In Leeds, and throughout the UK, drivers are required to drive on the left hand side of the road. If this is new to you then it can be a good idea to remind yourself each time you set off.
  • Drinking alcohol while driving is strictly against the law and you must have a valid driving license on you at all times.
  • The speed limits fall in line with national restrictions and are displayed in miles rather than kilometres. The national maximum is 70mph and this applies to motorways and some dual carriageways. Some A-roads will be limited to 60mph whilst most residential areas will be 30mph or 20mph when signposted.
  • Connecting London to Leeds, the M1 is one of the longest and busiest stretches of motorway in the UK whilst the M62 connects Leeds with Manchester. The outskirts of Leeds itself is connected by a series of A-roads.
  • For those driving into the centre of Leeds, it’s worth knowing about the City Centre Loop. A one-way system that surrounds the main retail areas, it stretches for two-miles and contains 18 junctions. Missing your turning could cause a delay to your journey so take caution when driving around it and try to ensure you get in the correct lane as early as possible.
