If you’re a lover of beautiful green spaces then be sure to visit Kirkstall Abbey. Situated only three miles north-west of the city and set in a spacious green park along the River Aire, Kirkstall Abbey is one of the most complete medieval 12th century Cistercian Abbeys in Britain. While there, pop over the road for a visit to Abbey House Museum; step back in time and experience life as a Victorian as you wander through the enchanting streets, shops and houses.
