Advantages: Lots to see and do Disadvantages: The weather can be disappointing
I have lived in Leeds all my life, studied here, and have now settled here post uni. I have lived in more rural areas, out of town suburbs, studentville, and even dabbled in some almost city living. It's one of those cities that has been experiencing a boom over the last twenty or so years, overtaking the other cities of West Yorkshire to become the largest, and arguably most successful. Traditionally it really began to develop as a municipality from the beginnings of the industrial revolution, being at the centre of the woollen industry, and has a long history with textiles. Just look at how Marks and Spencer began!
Nowadays, it has hard to class Leeds as one thing in particular - different areas all function as independent towns whilst being part of the larger Leeds - and with most cities has it's share of division. It's not ...
Advantages: Good nightlife and cheap cost of living Disadvantages: Beer is not subsidised - disgraceful

Leeds Castle
Leeds Castle is not in Leeds, which may come as a surprise to some people, but is near Maidstone in Kent. It is known as Leeds castle because way back in Saxon times it was The Manor house of Esledes which became a fortified castle in about 1119. The name Esledes became shortened in speech to Ledes which in turn became Leeds. This castle has had a long and interesting history from this time forward.

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Leeds Castle
Striking red brick Victorian Grade II listed building in the heart of Leeds. The hotel has completed a major refurbishment program which has been finished to very high standard. Public areas are large and bright and whilst maintainingmany original features contemporary colours and designs bring this hotel into the 21st century! There is a very stylish feel to the hotel. Bedrooms are relaxing with warm colours and a modern feel; there are still some traditionalstyle bedrooms but these have been up-dated with duvets to feel more contemporary. Striking bar and restaurant in the hotel. Excellent standard of hotel in a great location.
