Things to do in West Yorkshire
There’s so much to enjoy in and around the county, but if you’re not familiar with the local area, here are just a few of the activities you can enjoy.
Taking a stroll through tranquil gardens and parks
West Yorkshire is well known for its number of wonderful parks, gardens, and manor grounds to explore. Enjoy a relaxing walk around Roundhay Park in Leeds or visit the magical bird garden of Harwood House – it’s perfect for a day out with the grandchildren.
A day at the races
