    21 Must Visit Landmarks and Attractions in Leeds
    It doesn’t matter if you’re visiting Leeds for the first time or you live here, we’ve
    rounded up 21 of the most wonderful attractions and landmarks you simply have
    to visit.

    Landmarks crop up just about everywhere you go in Leeds. There are so many,
    you may wonder why you haven’t been before or, if you have, why haven’t you
    been for years? Even if you live in the city, there’s still a whole smorgasbord of
    sights and spectacles waiting for your awe and admiration. We’ve rounded up 21
    that deserve your time, so next time you’re planning a day out or city break, all
    the hard work is done for you!
    Royal Armouries
    Royal Armouries is one of the best attractions
    in Leeds. It’s five floors crammed full of
    amazing relics, trinkets and treasures from
    the National Collection of Arms and Armour.
    Through these exhibits, it brings the history
    of warfare and combat to life in front of your
    eyes, from the Danzig, one of the world’s
    earliest handguns, to a full-blown suit of
    armour made especially for an elephant. It
    also hosts frequent jousting tournaments and
    arms displays – but best of all, it’s free to
    enter!
    Leeds Town Hall
    This Cuthbert Brodrick-designed icon was
    opened by Queen Victoria in 1858, but it
    still has hallmarks of royal finery to this
    day. It’s a towering symbol of civic pride
    and a fine example of Victorian
    architecture, retaining many of its
    old-world features. Guided tours are the
    best way to see inside and out, taking you
    into the cavernous Victoria Hall to see the
    incredible organ, down into the old
    bridewell cells below ground and up to the
    clock tower for incredible city views.
    Kirkstall Abbey
    There are few better things to do in Leeds
    than exploring the wonderful Kirkstall
    Abbey. It’s one of the best remaining
    medieval Cistercian abbeys left in Britain
    and you can take a tour through its
    breathtaking ruins, weaving in and out of
    the dilapidated rooms where monks once
    lived and prayed. Building started back in
    1152, but much of what you see now was
    finished by 1182 and, despite the Dissolution
    of the Monasteries, it remains a grand
    structure, set in a pretty park
    Temple Newsam
    Over 500 years of history set amidst 1,500
    acres of parkland, Temple Newsam should
    be at the top of your sightseeing list for
    Leeds. First, enter the house and
    experience what it was like for the
    well-to-do to live here before
    experiencing one of the most important
    collections of fine and decorative art in
    Britain. Then head outside to explore the
    grounds with landscaped gardens by
    Capability Brown and acres of woods.
    There’s even a farm for the kids to meet
    pigs and sheep!
