Happy New Year! And welcome to a video that I've been looking forward to for a long time, a place where I once used to live: the great city of Leeds :) A spectacular city with as lively an atmosphere as anywhere, Leeds may not have the medieval charm of many Yorkshire destinations, but it more than makes up for that with spectacular industrial-era architecture, and so many things to see and do that you'll never be bored. On this 44-minute walk, we just about scratch the surface, but there's so much more to Leeds, from its legendary football team to its history of mining, milling and armouries!

Hi, Awesome live walk in the city of Leeds England. I enjoyed it. Hope to see more soon. Very beautiful and historical the city of Leeds is. Your history lessons are always great. And your walks are always enjoyable. Have a great day 😀 happy new year. 😀
Thanks for the memories. A friend and I went to Leeds back in 2014, but we didn't see as much of it as you did on this walk. I remember the city museum, which was very interesting, and we had lunch in an old bank that had been converted into a Wetherspoon's.
WOW, what a truly fascinating walk. My mum was born in Castleford and as a teenager cycled to work in Leeds so as youngsters we visited often as it was only half an hour by train from Huddersfield where her familay had moved to in the 1930's, a visit to the toy department at the Lewis store was the highlight. In 1954 I lost a leg in a road accident, my fault, so had to go to the Limb fitting centre at Chapel Allerton, in the Suez crisis in 1956 we were asked to make our own way there to save ambulance petrol. My retired granddad would take me on the train and tram for prosthetic repairs, as a lively youngster over the years there were many, and alterations as I grew. If we finished early we would have lunch at Winsor’s (sp) restaurant and visit the covered market. In the late 1990’s early 2000’s as a subscriber to the uk.local.yorkshire usenet group we had many pub crawls round Leeds, many of them that are a blur. I’ve not wandered round the centre for 20 years and your video was a bit of a shock as so much has changed. Thanks again, keep up the good work.
Wow! That's a fascinating story of Leeds and the surrounding area wonderfully told! I'm sorry to hear about the leg back in the day, though it certainly hasn't slowed you down over the years! As you mention there are so many things to see and do in Leeds and your many visits with family and friends, for whatever reason, show that it's always been a city that brings people back again and again, especially for shopping and those legendary pub crawls :) Things are certainly changing fast in Leeds as the city continues to swell - it may not even be recognisable to me in a few years' time either! Thank you so much for watching and for that wonderful comment - it's always brilliant to hear people's stories about the towns and cities we visit on the channel!
Born and bred in Leeds but after moving away in 1988 I haven't been back since, sadly. As for the Queen's Hotel I have great memories of Friday lunches with the carvery there in the 80's. Thanks for the memories even if I hardly recognise the city now.
I'm an exLoiner ,lived in Woodhouse,also Beamsley Grove for a while ,left on 1977 ,moved to the west coast of Scotland ,now live on the Isle of Skye .I enjoyed the trip round Hyde Park, although l was saddened by the graffiti everywhere. It was nice to see my old stomping grounds but l dont think l would like to return .Thanks for the memories @LetsWalkUK,
Wonderful walk around Leeds! Really enjoyed your video 😁 this is one of my favourite cities in England, it was also great to learn some really interesting historic facts! Thank you! 👏😄
This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
It's a great city! If you're ever in the mood for a day of shopping, going to the cinema, exploring industrial history, or even an evening of raucous nightlife - whatever floats your boat - Leeds has got it! Thank you so much for watching, I'm really glad you enjoyed the video! Happy New Year to you too :)
Being an 80yr. old born and bred Loiner, I have a long lasting interest in Leeds' 18th and 19th Century history. Many of Leeds' historic streets had names related to either where they were, or why they were there. But for me, a puzzle is The Headrow. Why? is because it started life as two streets: Upperhead Row, and Lowerhead Row. Exactly where each joined, I don't know, but Lowerhead Row ended at Vicar Lane ... there wasn't an Eastgate up until 1932. I've always wondered what was originally meant by the 'Head' in Headrow. Incidentally, by population at 1.4 million, Leeds is the fourth largest city in the UK after London, Manchester, and Birmingham.
It's a great city - and I'm sure you've had many wonderful trips there in the past! Thank you so much for watching, and a very Happy New Year to you too :)
Very nice, thanks for the upload. I've been to UK 4 times consecutively before the Pandemic hit. This year I went to Spain only. I have plans to return to England and visit Leeds next time, thanks to your video ;-)
Me too! It's a city I absolutely love, and its history is both fascinating and genuinely surprising :) Thank you so much for watching - I do hope you enjoyed the video!
It is a great city indeed - and one that I absolutely love :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you're enjoying the videos - and Happy New Year!
That's so kind of you to do! I'm really grateful for your support and wonderful comments on the channel, it always brightens my day to see them :) Thank you so much for tuning in - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!

I'm from Yorkshire & I'm still learning stuff! Thank you for pleasant & informative tour ❤
Being an ancient ex-Yorkshire person who left UK with his parents in 1952 I have to say that I am completely in love with all things Yorkshire.
I think Leeds is the best and most beautiful city in the UK

I love Leeds West Yorkshire is a beautiful place, people should come and visit. Not just Leeds but also the beautiful surrounding areas.

Leeds is a lovely vibrant place where you can shop shop shop till you drop !!
if you got money that is!
for a lot of Leeds people shop shop shop is not a reality-
@@trippy1198think you’ll find it’s not just leeds where spending large amounts of money isn’t a reality
Born and bred in Leeds but after moving away in 1988 I haven't been back since, sadly. As for the Queen's Hotel I have great memories of Friday lunches with the carvery there in the 80's. Thanks for the memories even if I hardly recognise the city now.
Really top notch. I have to say Leeds has much improved since I studied there in the 80s. Beautiful Victorian architecture.
Yeh, we put the beautiful Victorian architecture up in the 90s
Silly boy

The blue plaque at 22.45 records the building where Michael Marks met Tom Spencer, and we all know what happened after that.
