Canal Gardens at Roundhay Park

Today I took my nephew to Tropical World and Roundhay Park and what a great place it is. Roundhay Park has lots to offer both for kids and adults. There’s loads of great open spaces to relax, or play sports, picnics and family friendly. This is a photo I took of Canal Gardens.

Day trip tour around Leeds city centre

This week I had the pleasure of showing off my home city to Karen Bryan, one of the UK’s top travel bloggers, on Europe a la Carte. It’s surprising just how many people do not realise that the Granary Wharf and Clarence dock exists.

I enjoyed showing Karen around the city, and the weather was perfect. I arranged for a tour around the Grand Theatre, because, surprisingly, as a local, I’d never visited before. I’ll be writing about our tour around the Grand Theatre later this week, and publishing photos of the historic building.

In May, an open top bus and canal boat services will commence through-out the summer to make sure locals and tourists get to see the riverside and other parts of the city, but would it not be healthier, if we also put on walking tours for tourists, to show and showcase our wonderful waterfront areas.
