KIRKSTALL ABBEY REVIEWS
We took our 10 year old grandson to the Abbey and spent a few hours here, and tbh we had a great time exploring the ruin and appreciating the architecture and the effort it must have taken to build such a magnificent bu8lding. Many pictures were taken. What makes the visit even better is that there are many information boards around the site. There's also a good cafe and parking nearby. Great afternoon out & highly recommended.
An amazing part of history in this region. The staff in the museum were very friendly and customer focused. However, the 2 staff manning the Abbey itself were more interested in going home than admitting paying customers. We still had a fantastic time walking through the ruins admiring the structure. Well worth the time to visit.
Lovely Sunday afternoon stroll around the abbey's ruins...loved the atmosphere and the majesty of the gothic arches and architecture. Will definitely return soon as the rain chased us away too quickly.

HAREWOOD HOUSE REVIEWS
Really love this place. So tranquil on a quieter day or further into the gardens. Great for children as the play area is huge. They have nice locally made products on their shop, all the amenities and cafe's needed. Ample parking which is good. They've got rid of the bird cages which is for the best, so good on them! Love what they do at Harewood.
We were pleasantly impressed. The gardens are beautiful. We spent most of our time there. Then on entering the house, we wished that we had more time to enjoy the delights, treasures and history preserved in this beautiful house. A return trip is needed.
Excellent house in lovely gardens. House is so well preserved, and the grounds a delight. Large outdoor adventure park for kids. Farm is undergoing necessary upgrade. Well worth a visit.

LEEDS TOWN HALL REVIEWS
Incredible place. Amazing decor and vibe. There are always some events in Leeds Town Hall. It is a good place to hang out. During good days the sunshine in front of Leeds Town Hall is amazing. It is absolutely a place you need to go if you are in Leeds!
Such a beautiful building inside and out. Well stocked bars - decent wine, beers, spirits. Need to go to the main bar for draught. Can take a while to get drinks at large events so make use of interval ordering if available.
The town hall is a great space for any event. I attended a huge beer festival there and it was fantastic. The inside and the basement is very cool. The basement has old jail cells that were old and beautiful.
