There's no denying that Leeds is the dog's unmentionables when it comes to cities. From the shopping to the music, to the restaurants and cool bars and friendly people you'll meet, what's not to love?
However, living in the hustle and bustle of the city centre can take its toll from time to time, but fear not, there's plenty of picturesque villages and small towns less than an hours drive away, should you need a little peace and quiet.
The city is a short distance from a number of idyllic Yorkshire villages not to mention outstanding historic places, all perfect for a relaxing day trip out.
