Thwaite Mills

The Mill proved to be fascinating for my kids Age 9 and 13). They were intreagued by the workings of the mill and enjoyed following through the story of how the mill was used. We visited on a wet day and it was a great place to shelter for an hour. The victorian house was well set up and again provided lots of discussion in relation to the artifacts. The whole environment was well set up, informative and interesting. It will be great to come again once the covid rules are relaxed further. Gardens were out of action due to weather.

Leeds Waterfront

Reviewed By therichastill - Stevenage, United Kingdom

The Leeds and Liverpool Canal and River Aire flow through the centre of Leeds. The towpath has been restored and is perfect for taking a walk. There are lots of places to stop off to get something to eat or drink. The walk along the towpath is great and there are information points along the way to find out more about the history of the area.
