"Kirkstall Abbey, Abbey Road, Leeds, LS5 3EH - Visit now. Founded in 1152, Kirkstall Abbey on the bank of the River Aire is one of the most complete examples of a medieval Cistercian monastery in Britain. Its dramatic ruins have inspired artists such as JMW Turner over the centuries, and provided the perfect setting for Yorkshire’s Gothic Film Festival in 2013."

"Grade I listed Kirkstall Abbey sits in leafy grounds and offers a snapshot into the lives of the monks who resided there. Entry to the dramatic ruins is free through the visitor centre, which illustrates the history of the abbey, which was surrendered to Henry VIII during the dissolution of the monasteries. The abbey grounds also host regular farmers markets, open cinema events and Christmas fairs."

"If you want to experience the type of history that can capture your imagination with just how far back it dates, then Kirkstall Abbey is the perfect place for you. It’s one of the most complete medieval Cistercian abbeys in Britain today. It also offers a picnic area, and play area for children, but don’t panic if you forget to bring something to eat."

"Thornton’s Arcade began as a row of shops and offices, but by 1875, the owner, Charles Thornton wanted to expand and so, three years later, one of Leeds’ most treasured landmarks opened. Designed by George Smith, the three-storey arcade sports a lovely glass roof and a William Potts and Sons clock that features characters from Robin Hood. Today, Thornton’s Arcade is full of amazing indies like the award-winning OK Comics and craft beer shop Tall Boys Beer Market."

"Took advantage of the early bird offer two courses and a drink (which is on 7 days a week according to their website and menu) on the Friday night. We enjoyed it so went back on Saturday to take advantage again. Ordered our two courses and drink only to be told they had stopped doing it just that day."

"19/03/2021: My partner and I lived in Guangdong, China for 6 years and have felt quite 'homesick' coming back to Harrogate, but every time we step foot in this stunning spot it's just what we need. The restaurant itself is stunning, probably the most curious mash up of old world bathhouse charm and history juxtaposed over a festive atmosphere. The food is unreal, the dim sum is fresh, delicate and authentic."

"Royal Baths Chinese Restaurant is an upscale Chinese restaurant set in an old bath hall that offers the option to dine in or take out food. Those who dine in can enjoy dim sum, order a la carte, choose the set menu, or visit on a Sunday for the buffet. Most of the menu items are also available for takeout."
