Nowadays, Clifford’s Tower is one of the most popular and emblematic sights in York, and the panoramic views from the tower’s ramparts make it an excellent starting point for first-time visitors to historic York."

32 of the Best Italian Restaurants in Leeds
"Hidden away at the edge of Woodhouse Moor, La Besi is a charming, family-run Italian eatery in Leeds, packed full of your favourite traditional dishes. Pizza and pasta is the order of the day, from Cannelloni to the Napoli pizza, but they have a fair selection of secondi piatti too, including Beef Stroganoff, Pollo Picante and Salmone Fillet. It’s unlicensed, so feel free to bring your own bottle of wine for a cheap alternative to the other Italians in the city."
Mentioned by Leeds-List
The Best Takeaways in Leeds
"La Besi is the definition of cheap and cheerful Italian cuisine, a takeaway restaurant where the price truly defies the taste. It’s like getting home-cooked Italian food delivered to your door – pizza and pasta is what they do best, whether you’re ramming your fork into a cannelloni or grabbing a slice of the Al Capone, topped with ham, salami and pepperoni. Fancy something bigger?"
Mentioned by Leeds-List
The Best Budget Restaurants in Leeds
"Budget restaurants in Leeds don’t get much better than La Besi. If you’re looking for a substantial feed that’ll leave you stuffed with change to spare, it’s an excellent choice. This family style Italian eatery dishes up all your favourites like Canneloni, Italian Meatball Linguine and Lasagne, as well as a range of pizzas, all under £11."
