Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in Ripon Canal

"This historic Leeds landmark is one of the most intact examples of a medieval Cistercian abbey in the UK. Aside from the ruins themselves, which you’re free to explore, there are 24 hectares of parkland here, so pack a picnic and find a spot next to the scenic River Aire. Visit on the last weekend of the month and you can also make the most of Kirkstall Abbey Deli Market, which offers a delectable mix of street food and fresh local produce."

"Kirkstall Abbey has a wooly great summer of sheep themed activities in the abbey!. Cistercians loved their sheep and they Kirkstall Abbey will celebrate that fact with a baa-tastic trail. Pick up or download a trail to find the whole flock and discover the different types of sheep that the UK call home."

"Leeds' most impressive medieval structure is beautiful Kirkstall Abbey, founded in 1152 by Cistercian monks from Fountains Abbey in North Yorkshire. These days the city makes good use of it as an atmospheric..."

"What: Taking its inspiration from the New York nightlife, you'll feel like you've teleported to a Manhattan rooftop when stepping out onto the terrace at East 59th. Contemporary American dishes including burgers and prawns cooked on the BBQ are accompanied by creative cocktails, which can be enjoyed late into the night. Saturday nights see DJs take to the decks on the terrace, making it a particularly great place to come with friends.Where: 3rd Floor Rooftop, Victoria Gate, George Street, LS2 7AU"

"East 59th is one of Leeds' swankiest rooftop restaurants and bars, offering views of the city's gorgeous architecture including the historic Kirkgate Market. Grab a space on their outdoor terrace for jaw-dropping vistas, boujee brunch plates, and NYC-inspired cocktails come nightfall."

"Small but perfectly formed, Clifford’s Tower offers, among other things, splendid views across the city and York Minster from its circular platform up high. It also tells an interesting tale, often referred to as York Castle, the site dates back to 1068 when William the Conqueror was busy trying to rid the north of Vikings and built a number of castles on his way. While many battles raged over the centuries (the murky Jewish massacre of 1190 cast a long shadow), York Castle’s role evolved, including stints as a prison and a royal mint."

"Clifford’s Tower (also known as York Castle) has been at the heart of York for many centuries now. It’s endured a fair few battles and what remains of the fortified complex that once consisted of prisons, castles and law courts, is now a ruinous castle. You can climb to the top of the tower for a small fee, where you’ll see panoramic views of the Vale of York."

"The tower stands high next to York Castle Museum with views over York. Clifford's Tower was built at the Eye of York, a defensive position between the River Ouse and River Foss. Built in 1068 by William the Conqueror to control the North of England."

"Come rain or shine, Restaurant Bar and Grill has one of the most popular outdoor areas in Leeds city centre. They have loads of tables outside, socially distanced of course, with heat lamps near every one and you can get food and drink ordered right to you. They have lagers, ciders and cocktails on their drinks menu, but it’s the wine that steals the show – red, white, rose or sparkling, you’ll be spoilt for choice."

"What: As the name might suggest, The Restaurant Bar & Grill is more of a refined affair than some of the laid-back cafés in our guide. Set in an impressive building which used to be a post office, this is certainly a grand setting for a weekend brunch. Expect classic dishes such as Highland scrambled and avocado on toast, as well as healthy options like coconut yoghurt with fruit."

"Located in the landmark Old Post Office building in the heart of City Square, The Restaurant Bar & Grill provides an impressive setting to enjoy brunch, lunch, dinner or a private party.

"Once one of the richest abbeys in the North of England, St. Mary’s used to rival York Minster in terms of its size and splendor. Nowadays, its extensive and impressive ruins are protected as part of the York Museum Gardens that lie just on the edge of the city center. Founded in 1088, the abbey prospered for centuries until Henry VIII’s edict in 1536 that dissolved and disbanded monasteries, priories and convents."

"Once the richest abbey in the north of England, St Mary's lies in what are now the York Museum Gardens, on a steeply-sloping site to the west of York Minster. The abbey dates back to 1086 and over time became the wealthiest monastery in northern England before it was dissolved by Henry VIII in 1539. Over the next 200 years, it fell into disrepair and was largely dismantled for its stone."

"St Mary’s Abbey is a ruined Benedictine abbey in York, surrounded by the Museum Gardens and next to the Yorkshire Museum. It was once the richest abbey in the north of England. 575 metres from the Minster.Yorkshire Museum, Museum St, York YO1 7FR, United Kingdom"

"20/07/2021: Been going to this place for many years as food is good but service is going down massively. Waited for 15 minutes for somebody to take order as people at front were just chatting with their friends. Finally gave up and went to Nusret Shawarma."

"19/04/2021: nowNEWSaw this restaurant on BBC 1 where Ainsley Harriot & Len Goodman visited. I was not disappointed. Tried the Lamb on the Bone, by far the best in the UK."

"If you’re looking for the best greasy spoon in Leeds, make a beeline for Riveresque. This is a no-frills cafe on the side of Leeds Bridge where you can get a cuppa and a decent feed for a surprisingly affordable price. They have a menu of hot and cold sandwiches and salads, which are made to order, as well as soups and jacket potatoes (not to mention a Full English to start the day with)."

"Hosted in a Grade II listed Victorian building, The Lost & Found is a Victorian haven of antique furnishings and botanical cocktails. Head over for a weekend brunch or midweek dinner and tuck into the likes of beef ragu arancini and grilled seabream, before hunting down their secret den that's so decadent it would make Oscar Wilde proud."

"A Victorian-themed den with a sun-drenched terrace, The Lost & Found is a top choice for botanical cocktails and European fare. Housed within an impressive building and with menus suited for vegans, veggies and carnivores alike, this restaurant and bar is ideal for catch-ups with mates and romantic date nights."

"07/06/2021: We are new to toby carvery Keighley but I must say this is the best one we have been too, the staff was brilliant and the veg options were amazing, we will defiantly be returning!. 04/06/2021: Went back after 2 years but disappointed. The carvery is good and good value, but almost no choice if you don't want the carvery - we ended up having the carvery meat with an apology for a salad (just lettuce, shaved cucumber and carrots)."

"Crafting classic British roasts every day of the week, Toby Carvery presents a crowd-pleasing feast. Select from tender slow-cooked meats, a variety of vegetables and hand-ruffled potatoes (each of which are checked to ensure they're crisped and…"
