Leeds and York are two unique cities each steeped in history and surrounded by landscapes of epic proportions in the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors National Park – and it’s only twenty-five minutes train journey between them or a forty-minute drive. From the medieval streets and ancient walls of York to grand Victorian arcades and romantic abbey ruins in Leeds, each city retains different layers of its history, alongside a vibrant food and drink scene, independent shopping and irresistible luxury hotel options.
