There have been mixed reactions across Leeds to the news Kirkstall Abbey is going to charge people from outside of the city for visits.
The site is one of the most popular sites for tourists in Leeds and with people visiting from across the country every day. Kirkstall Abbey will introduce the charges from this week and they consist of a £5 for visitors from outside of the city while children will cost £2.50 and children under the age of five will be allowed in for free.
This charge has proved controversial already with some in Leeds outraged by the new charges on accessing the 870-year-old former monastery.
