Other attractions in Leeds
Thackray Medical Museum, Beckett Street (next door to St James' Hospital), . Award winning. The best of its kind in the country, with all manner of exhibits and the chance to experience the life of a Victorian child or mill-worker (and their often gruesome medical history). If you've got children, you'd be mad to miss it! �
Tropical World, Princes Avenue, Roundhay, . Great for a rainy day as it's all indoors, this extensive menagerie has animals, birds, fish and insects from across the globe in thoughtfully themed zones. �
Temple Newsam, Temple Newsam Road (off Selby Road), . One of the great historic estates in England. With over 1500 acres landscaped by Capability Brown in the 18th century, it is a large Tudor–Jacobean mansion housing a large collection of works of art. The garden has some excellent walks and houses a working Rare Breeds farm. �
Harewood House, Harewood Village, . This huge estate, complete with extensive gardens, lake, lovely café and bird gardens, is owned by the Queen's cousin. The opulent roccoco house itself is well worth a look around. �
Kirkstall Abbey, Abbey Road, Kirkstall,, . Largest abbey in the North of England - see below. One of the UK's biggest and best preserved abbeys, recently restored with a new visitor centre. It's 3 miles out of town but lovers of history and architecture, or those in search of a beautiful and peaceful spot in the city won't regret making the trip. Buses (33/33a) every 10 minutes from the city centre. Opposite is Abbey House Museum . �
Armley Mills, Canal Road, Armley,, . Excellent museum of industry and Leeds' (major) role in the Industrial Revolution. �
Thwaite Mills, Thwaite Lane, Stourton, . Rare example of a former stone-crushing mill, now an excellent working museum. �
Middleton Railway, Moor Road, Hunslet, . The oldest working railway in the world.

You can now have a ride on the historic rolling stock. �
Church of St John the Baptist, Church Lane, Adel, . Whilst a long way out of town, this leafy and extremely affluent suburb has some lovely houses, and is a world a way from the bustle of the city centre - nearby York Gate garden is beautiful and well worth a visit), this lovely and well-preserved early Norman church set in verdant grounds is a hidden treasure �
Bramham Park, Wetherby, . Another such stately home to the north-east of Leeds with a long history and lovely gardens and grounds. �
