Armley Mills

posted by DVC_Chris on 2 June 2009 at 02:27

When I was in Leeds, my wife and I took our children to visit the museum at the Armley Mills, which is a restored and working mill that dates back to the 16th century. It was really neat seeing how they used to work, and just how resourceful they managed to be to get work done without electricity. Definitely worth a visit.

Royds Hall Riding School

posted by DVC_Chris on 29 May 2009 at 02:32

When we were in Leeds a few weeks ago, my daughter desperately wanted to go horseback riding, which is when the hotel concierge recommended the Royds Hall Riding School. She and my wife went and had a good time doing a basic trot, and getting a refresher course in proper riding etiquette.

Royal Armouries

posted by triplecrown on 26 May 2009 at 19:24

This is a museum that houses tons of weapons and armor from ancient times. They also have animals that were part of the military structure historically and they do shows like jousting which was our favorite. It is a fascinating look into the days of knights and castles.

Browns Bar & Brasserie

posted by Adgate26 on 15 May 2009 at 19:48

The food here is extremely simple and they offer a simple theme- Good food and good times. Every one in the place seemed to be enjoying themselves and you really get a sense of the home town culture. With hotels being located in the same building I can see why this place is so popular. I am a simple person and I enjoy simple food cooked right.

Written in the Domesday Book of 1086 it tells of a manor close to the present day site of Temple Newsam it was called 'Neuhusum' meaning 'new houses'. Around 1155 the land became the property of the military-religious order of the Knights Templar. In 1622, after a perid of neglect, Temple Newsam was bought by a wealthy Yorkshire financier, Sir Arthur Ingram, whose decendents lived there for the next 300 years.
