 Leeds' favourite public park |
Princess Avenue Roundhay Leeds LS8 2ER United Kingdom +44 113 266 1850 |
This has been the city's favourite public space since it was first opened in 1872. It is the venue for high-profile music and cultural festivals in the summer, and also provides 700 acres of wooded walks, horticultural displays and sports facilities. The abundant bird life on Waterloo Lake can be observed from the park's waterside cafe. A stone's throw away are the Canal Gardens and the Tropical World Botanical Gardens—tourist attractions that boast over 750,000 visitors a year. Admission is free. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 A stomach-churning experience |
Beckett Street Leeds LS9 7LN United Kingdom +44 113 244 4343 http://www.thackraymuseum.org |
Located next to St James' Hospital, this award-winning museum offers an insight into the development of medicine and public health over the last 150 years. Sound boring? Far from it, the Thackray is one of the city's major attractions and it's easy to see why. Dramatic and often stomach-churning reconstructions and interactive displays guarantee a fun and educational day out for all the family. The re-enactment of an 11-year-old factory girl's leg amputation is particularly gruesome. Not a place for those of a nervous disposition! Open bank holidays. Review © 2007, Wcities |
