Michael D Beckwith [CC BY-SA 4.0]

Leeds is the largest city in Yorkshire and a must-visit 

destination with its vibrant atmosphere and cool 

city vibe that seamlessly blends with landmark 

architecture, museums and monuments. Add in 

the warmest of welcomes and saying goodbye to 

Leeds is never easy! 

©VisitBritain / Lee Beel 


Nestled in the heart of Yorkshire and located on 

the doorstep of the Yorkshire Dales, Leeds city 

centre is also a shopper’s paradise! From high 

street to high end design, from big brand shops 

in stunning Victorian arcades to numerous 

modern purpose-built shopping centres with big 

name department stores, shopping doesn’t get 

much better! 

Leeds is famous for its exciting festival scene too. 

The Leeds Festival is one of the UK’s most popular 

rock festivals and brings together thousands of 

visitors from around the world. The month of June 

heralds the annual Leeds Food and Drink Festival; 

certain to satisfy food lovers with its three-day 

round-up of the very best local street food. 

If you’re visiting Leeds, consider starting your 

city exploration at the Millennium Square. The 

Town Hall, Leeds City Museum and Leeds Civic 

Hall surround the square, which has a reputation 

as the social and cultural heart of Leeds. During 

the winter months, this hotspot is home to the 

annual Christmas market and an outdoor ice 

rink - definitely worth experiencing if you love the 

festive season! Major international and national 

sporting events are broadcast on big screens here 

too, seeing people from the city and further afield 

come together to support and cheer on their 

favourite teams.

tingling, it’s a popular spot for lunch. The market 

is housed in a charming Edwardian building 

that dates back to 1857 and now plays host to 

approximately 200 food and fashion stalls. 

Roundhall Park is one of the largest city parks in 

Europe with more than 700 acres of parkland, 

historic architecture, lakes and woodland. A short 

distance outside of the city centre is Kirkstall 

Abbey which was founded over 800 years ago. 

Set on the banks of the River Aire, the dramatic 

remains of the Cistercian abbey are a haven to 

wildlife and greenery. Alternatively, RHS Garden 

Harlow Carr is another fantastic attraction for 

nature enthusiasts and Meanwood Valley Urban 

Farm is great for all the family. 

After a full day of discovery, Call Lane has 

everything to keep party people entertained, 

from cocktail bars to the coolest rock and roll 

nightspots. 

So, if leisure or a business trip calls you to 

Leeds, you’re going to need a hotel that adds 

to an already exciting few days away. We’ve 

rounded-up a collection in and around Leeds 

city centre that are suitable for a range of budgets

MAGNOLIA PARK & GOLF 

& COUNTRY CLUB 

BICEST ER, BUCKINGHAMSHIRE HP18 9XX 

Risk and reward rule at this spectacular 

championship golf course that weaves its way 

through hundreds of acres of country parkland in 

Buckinghamshire. 

Meandering through natural valleys, lakes and 

streams, the par 73 Magnolia Park is a superb 

test for golfers of all abilities, with the back 

nine providing an exacting challenge for more 

experienced players. A particular highlight is the 

par 4 15th hole where a gentle dogleg, and water 

protecting the green, could make a difference to 

the scorecard. 

Magnolia Park has several signature holes. Look 

out for the 2nd; this par 3 is surrounded by 

stunning woodland and the green sits tightly 

behind one of the natural lakes. 

If you’re playing as a 4-ball, you should anticipate 

completing the course in four and half hours, 

which is ideal for the hotel’s play and stay 

packages. Starting from £99, this is a great value 

for money escape to the greens with a comfortable 

and enjoyable stay in the hotel. 

22

Tee Time! 

In addition to the championship course, there is 

a 9-hole par 3 footgolf course, driving range and 

putting green plus a nicely stocked pro-shop with 

major brands. For hungry golfers and guests, 

the Members Spike Bar is the place to be. The 

18-hole fill-me-up breakfast is an obviously 

popular choice and the bar menu has a good 

selection of culinary classics as well as Asian 

fusion dishes. Chef’s speciality dish is a delicious 

West Indies curry and with a carefully curated 

wine list, it’s easy to while away an hour or two on 

the sunny terrace overlooking the golf course.

active, the team will tailor a package packed with 

adventure. Gin and Whisky tastings, golf, tours and 

spa experiences can be organised too.
