Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Great Heck

"Leeds Art Gallery, which opened in 1888, houses the best twentieth century collection outside London and a colourful wall painting for the Victorian staircase by Lothar Götz. The gallery is owned and operated by Leeds City Council and is free to members of the public. Just next door, The Henry Moore Institute hosts a year-round programme of historical, modern and contemporary exhibitions presenting sculpture from across the world."

"This list ranks externally complete Leeds buildings and free-standing structures that stand at least 50 metres (164 ft), based on standard height measurement. This includes spires and architectural details but does not include antenna masts. An equals sign (=) following a rank indicates the same height between two or more buildings."

"Situated in Micklegate, York, Partisan is a family-run restaurant. This eatery creates a special menu every week to cater to vegan and vegetarian visitors and locals in town. The remarkable thing about Partisan is that it runs an arable farm on the city’s outskirts, where staff grows the herbs and vegetables used in making the restaurant’s tasty dishes."

"Again, this one involves eggs, especially on the daytime menu. But if that’s not a problem for you, then you will love this quirky spot. If you don’t eat eggs then you still have options and some very tasty ones too."

"Stop at this independent coffee shop and restaurant on Micklegate and you can look forward to all day brunch dishes such as French toast, eggs benedict, and cooked breakfasts served in a skillet."

"Brew and Brownie was a place that I wanted to visit in York for the longest time, but every time we went passed it, there were queues out of the door and down the street!. Thankfully, one day last spring, Matt and I managed to grab a table and even though I was recovering from just having my tonsils removed, I was determined to make the most out of our visit there!. Brew and Brownie offer an incredible breakfast/brunch menu including everything from a smorgasbord of egg dishes, avocado dishes and plenty of tasty sandwiches."

"As the name suggest, Brew & Brownie make an abundance of different flavoured brownies. I must have sampled about 4 of them during my time in York, and even stopped by before I caught the train home so that I could enjoy a little treat on the journey!. And if you’re not a brownie lover, never fear!"

"Famous for their spectacular pancakes – and many other yummy sweet and savoury treats. Normally it’s hard to get a table in here, so make sure to get here early (or be prepared to wait!) Currently open for click and collect or order at the door."

"What to have: Bettys are famous for their afternoon tea in York – a selection of classic sandwiches, miniature cakes, and a pot of tea. There is also a pink champagne or prosecco version, for those who want something a little stronger. No trip to York is complete without a trip to Bettys."

"Famous for its afternoon tea, Betty’s on Stonegate has a cute shop selling loose-leaf tea and gift cakes on antique dressers on the ground floor and a cosy dining room up the winding stairs. Perfect for a round of classic English sandwiches."

"Wide variety of mail order of cakes, gift hampers, chocolates, tea and coffee. Free nationwide delivery on purchases over £30. People flock to Bettys from all over the world to enjoy our famous Afternoon Tea."

"A shabby chic decor is combined with distinctive Victorian architecture at Corner House Coffee Bar, so it’s the perfect place to get your brunch fix. They serve up a host of classics, from a Full English to Eggs Benedict and Smashed Avocado on Toast, but you can also try something different. Take the Natural Smoked Haddock Kedgeree for example – it’s a classic Indian dish which brings together rice, flaked fish, eggs and veggies, brought to life with a kick of curry powder."

"Corner House is a coffee shop which serves breakfast, lunch and small plates in an evening. It also has a selection of coffees from around the world and serves alcoholic drinks. There is a specific menu for kids which also includes breakfast options."

"One of the coolest spots in a city renowned for its oldie pubs, The Habit is a café-bar with assorted, reclaimed furniture, relaxed vibes and a decent selection of guest ales and beers. One of the main attractions, though, is the regular live music and hip DJs, making it quite popular with the city's student population. Head up stairs to the terrace in the summer, where you'll also find The Habit's renowned graffiti wall."

"With a stunning backdrop of the Minster on their terrace, this gem on Goodramgate is a must-visit for a pint with a view. Whether beer, wine or spirits is your style there’ll be something for you to enjoy here. Relax and chat with loved ones while taking in this breath-taking view of York’s most iconic building."

"In the near centre of Wakefield sits the magnificent Wakefield Cathedral, or the even grander title of the Cathedral Church of All Saints in Wakefield. Although we owe the Victorians for Wakefield Cathedral’s current appearance, restored and reopened in 1888, it has been a place of worship since the 9th-century, and has even been mentioned in the Doomsday Book of 1086. Today, anyone can come and have an informal, 45 minute tour of this historic cathedral, with no booking required and completely free!"

"Another incredibly old building, Wakefield Cathedral is the tallest church in Yorkshire and has a long and fascinating history. Although it has been developed and rebuilt at various points over the past 900 years, the building which exists today dates back to the 14th century. Its 247-foot tall spire is visible from many of the suburbs of Wakefield and even beyond on a clear day."

"This Grade I listed Georgian church was nearly lost in the 1950s, but was saved when church officials decided that it was a building of historical and architectural importance. While it’s still a place of worship, Holy Trinity Church is also a lively community space and they put on all manner of events for you to enjoy, including art exhibitions, vintage fairs and live music – the acoustics are fantastic. Holy Trinity Church, Boar Lane, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS1 6HW."

"If you’re young – or young at heart – and have a creative bent then this funky hostel, run by the East Street Arts charity, will be right up your street. Each room has been designed by artists, so expect eclectic styles."

"One of England's most impressive collections of sculpture is scattered across the formidable 18th-century estate of Bretton Park, 200-odd hectares of lawns, fields and trees. A bit like the art world's equivalent of a safari park, the Yorkshire Sculpture Park showcases the work of dozens of sculptors both national and international. The park is partly a homage to local heroes Barbara Hepworth (1903−75), who was born in Wakefield, and Henry Moore (1898−1986), though more of their works are on display at the Hepworth Wakefield."

"This outdoor gallery near Wakefield is in a former 18th-century estate encompassing more than 500 acres of fields, lakes, exotic trees,…"

"Over 50 years old, the Doncaster Museum and Art Gallery holds an impressive display of natural history and archaeology, focusing on the region’s rich history. Alongside that, the museum houses the Regimental Museum of the King’s Own Yorkshire Light Infantry, a unit formed in the late 1700s that went on to fight in Waterloo, Burma and both World Wars."
