Nestling along both sides of the majestic River Aire, the historic city of Leeds is one of the most interesting places to visit in the north of England. Conveniently located in the heart of the county of West Yorkshire, it first developed as a small market town in the Middle Ages and has steadily grown into a major industrial and agricultural hub. The centre has a good number of first-class museums and art galleries to offer, along with many attractive parks and gardens. The city's first port of call for tourists is the pedestrianised City Square, located a short walk from the spectacular Town Hall building opened by Queen Victoria in 1858. In Victoria Square, the excellent Leeds Art Gallery is an absolute must for art lovers on account of its superb collection of works by some of the world's best artists, including Constable, Gainsborough, Courbet and Renoir. Another key feature for tourists spending time in the city centre is the nearby Leeds City Museum, popular for its Life on Earth gallery where a collection of very rare exhibits includes a meteorite, dinosaur droppings and a large stuffed Bengal tiger. After all the city sightseeing is done, why not enjoy a relaxing stroll in the 700-acre Roundhay Park (one of Europe's largest city parks) where you can visit the Tropical World glasshouses and aquariums. Leeds also lies within easy striking distance of many of the most picturesque parts of the country, including the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District just over an hour's drive to the north-west.

" The car was entirely appropriate for my needs and good value. My only frustration was not being able to contact anyone in the Avis office at Leeds Bradford airport "
" I could have done with extending the rental for another day. The various numbers I found on the Avis rental document all took me to a recorded announcement saying that my call couldn't be answered and that I couldn't leave a message. I rang the numbers repeatedly over a 4 hour period. "
