Depends on what you're after, really. On the opposite side of the Abbey Rd. you can find Abbey House Museum, closer to city centre is Leeds Industrial Museum at Armley Mills. The city centre itself is full of 19th and beginning of 20th centuries tenements houses with very interesting facades. At St. Paul Street there's probably one of my favourite one. Former 19th century workshop and warehouse built in Hispano-Moorish style. At Marshall St. is Temple Works with architectonic design modelled on ancient Egyptian temples. Unfortunately, only office block is in good condition, the rest of the complex is hidden behind scaffolding. In the city centre you can find, among the others, 19th c. arcades, Kirkgate Market (the largest roofed market in Europe), Corn Exchange. Too bad, that the most interesting museums like Thackray Museum of Medicine at Beckett Street, or Royal Armouries near to River Arie are still closed down. BTW, Kirkstall House Museum and Leeds City Museum (next to Millennium Square) are open from 12 AM. Have a nice stay.

No problem - plenty if dogs in the grounds not in the actual fenced iff but fir the abbey though that I’ve seen

Yes, it is extremely easy to go to Kirkstall Abbey from the Leeds Train Station. I took the bus and there is a bus stop right outside the Abbey. The grounds of the Abbey has paved roads which should not pose a problem to the wheelchair user. However, to go inside the Abbey itself, you would have to go through the tourist information centre/shop and I remember it had a couple of stairs. Even inside the main abbey, the terrain is bumpy and there are minor obstacles. However, I felt that being able to see the Abbey in all its glory from a distance awed me more than being able to walk inside. I hope this helps!

Hi Brenda There's free parking just opposite the abbey on Abbey Walk. If you are using a sat nav the postcode is LS5 3EH. Enjoy the event! Best wishes Elaine

The grounds to Kirkstall Abbey, Leeds are open all year round

You can take a bus from Leeds train station straight to the Abbey, it is the same bus that would eventually take you to the airport if you were to stay on it. It should be bus #757 It will drop you off right in front of the abbey walls. You can't miss it, but can always ask your driver to let you know when you've reached the abbey, they will gladly stop.

The French, maybe !!
