As we adjust to a few more freedoms and the familiar busy pace of life, we come to once again treasure those moments of calm. The oasis in the week where you take the chance to take a step back, breathe, relax and enjoy a gentle walk. For those who are city based, these can often be monotonous and repetitive, however, Curious about Leeds is a self guided walking tour that will have you falling in love with Yorkshire’s grand metropolis all over again.

Let the tour unveil hidden stories of each stops past, giving you and alternative insight into the city’s past.
