Leeds
The ‘capital of Yorkshire’, Leeds has become the place to go for a night out or a weekend of shopping and is packed with museums, attractions, theatres and much more.
The city’s waterside has undergone a dramatic facelift in recent years and now boasts some great waterside pubs, restaurants and bars.
