Situated about a 3-4 hour drive north of London, Yorkshire is the the UK’s largest county. Yorkshire is rich in history and folklore. Although London and the south are a wonderful tourist destination, Yorkshire has so much to offer and holds many places to visit that you probably don’t know exist. Besides renting a car and driving there a wondeful way to see the English countryside in comfort is by train. A train ticket will cost you between $65-$120pp. You can also travel by bus which will cost between $30-$60pp.
- 1st Stop – LEEDS is the most metropolitan city in Yorkshire, resting on the River Aire. Leeds City Center has many wonderful hotels and if it is your ‘cup of tea’ the restaurants and nightlife are incredible. Also in the city center is Leeds Museum. As I child, I would love to visit and especially loved the Egyptian exhibits and achaelogical treasures. The train station is about a 10 minute walk away. If you like to see live shows and musicals, opera’s and ballets, the Leeds Grand Theatre and Opera House is within walking distance too. Built in 1878 it boasts a Romanesque and Gothic motif.
