Ashley & William
Things To Do
York
Visit the city William and Ashley meet and fell in love in. Only a twenty minute train ride from Leeds, York is a picturesque city with plenty of sights and food. The York Minister is the center piece of the city with the benefit of a birds eye view if you dare to climb 275 steps to the top. Visit Betty's Tearoom for afternoon tea and cakes. Walk down The Shambles to embrace the inspiration behind Diagon Alley (or so they say) while taking time to window shop in the dozens of small stores. If you stay in town late enough, there are multiple ghost tours who would be more than happy to help you explore the darker side of this beautiful city.
Royal Armouries Museum
Explore arms and armour from across the world and through time over five floors of stunning displays. Only a short distance from the city centre at Leeds Dock.
Thackray Medical Museum
Explore the history of medicine in the UK! Make sure you don't get caught up in any experiments!
Leeds Road Golden Acre Park
Take a stroll in this lovely public park or stop and have a quick sip of tea at the park cafe.
Kitty Cafe
Ash and Will had a magical date here surrounded by happy kitty's and (gluten free!) cakes. Be sure to make a reservation though as walk ins are not allowed!
Trinity Center
Food, Shopping, and drinks- what more could you ask for?! Ash and Will have spent more time then they'd like to admit wandering around this shopping center and kitchen. Right in the center of town and the center of the action so if you don't find something you like at Trinity you are surrounded by other shopping centers and restaurants.
Tropical World
Come see and visit with the tropical birds and animals! Down the road from Roundhay Park. Make a day of visiting the animals and stopping by the cafe in the park for a cup of tea and cake.
