With some wonderful modern architecture and snazzy shops, Leeds has genuinely transformed itself in recent years. however, there's still many structures that evoke the city's Victorian splendour, too. 1 of the most well-known Victorian structures is leeds town hall, which was designed by the architect Cuthbert Brodrick.

Leeds also boasts the unforgettable Kirkstall Abbey, which is located in the western outskirts of the city. This beautiful Abbey is widely regarded as one of the most complete examples of a medieval Cistercian abbey in great britain. It boasts historical architecture, as well as beautiful gardens that are packed with wildlife and greenery.

Kirkstall Abbey was started in 1152 and took more than 75 years to build. The historical ruins have been painted by artists including turner and the abbey is now a Grade 1 listed structure. In the summer, visitors flock to see open-air concerts and plays in the appealing grounds of the Abbey.

These include the very interesting armley mills industrial museum and the henry moore institute, which caters to the artistic visitor. alternatively, you could visit one of the city's wonderful parks or even the stunning nelson mandela gardens, which are situated in the heart of the city.

These good-looking gardens were built to celebrate the millennium at a cost of £12 million and were funded by leeds council and the Millennium Commission. The gardens were awarded a medal at the 2004 Chelsea Flower Show, although they were damaged this year due to a major water fight that was organised on the social-networking web site, Facebook.
