Holiday In Leeds England: Leeds - What You Need To Know

By John Roney


Walking holidays are the perfect way to relax, but not all of us are that keen on spending a week in the countryside. If you're determined to enjoy some gorgeous scenery while never straying too far from the city, however, a trip to Leeds could be the best option.



The path is split into several routes that are then divided into sections. This makes the route easier to contend with, as well as providing simple and accurate means by which to judge how far a section is. You can pick up a leaflet from various places, including Leeds tourist information, that will help you to plan where you want to go along the route and whether you want to walk a certain distance or just start at any one point and set off.

Leeds city has a very strong and old sporting heritage. Notable bearers of the torch are Yorkshire County Cricket Club, Leeds Rhinos Rugby League Football Club and Leeds United Association Football Club. Leeds Athletics Club is among the biggest athletics clubs in Northern England. The club has always been among the top four in the championship in cross country events at national level. Among the facilities for sports you'll find the world famous Headingley Stadium used for cricket mostly and sometimes for rugby, The Stadium in the southern part of Leeds for sporting activities, football, and tennis, Xscape for indoor games in real snow, Garforth Jets Badminton Club and sailing at Yeadon Tarn centre. In the arena of print media the Newspaper Limited of Yorkshire holds the front seat, but don't forget the Yorkshire Evening Post and Leeds Express, the Wharfe Valley and Pudsey Times. Famous books include the Leeds Guide book and another book named absolute Leeds. They cover a variety of subjects and are well circulated. Local electronic media like TV and radio work side by side and prominent among them are Yorkshire Television, Aire radio station, Magic 828, Galaxy 105 and Real radio. Leeds ranks as the third largest media city of England, the first two being London and Manchester respectively. In addition Yorkshire will be hosting the International Film Academy Awards for Indian films and Leeds will take a lead in this area. Information technology has been gaining momentum in Leeds city too. A lot of companies dealing with computers and computer technology, internet and the World Wide Web have emerged in Leeds. Today, more than one third of the United Kingdom's Internet traffic is channelled through Leeds, so it has turned out to be United Kingdom's largest Internet city. Every university and educational institution in Leeds today offers Information Technology as one of its subjects. A number of recruitment companies are using campus recruitment of bright IT engineers. For the last 50 years, The Leeds Met or The Metropolitan University of Leeds has incorporated 'Introduction of Computer Science' into its courses. Numerous seminars and discussion forums are held round the year in Leeds relating to information technology and its implementation. Today Leeds has more computer trained personnel than most of the cities not only in the UK but the world. Information technology has therefore occupied a predominant part in education as well as in the commercial arena of Leeds. One good thing that has occurred with the advent of information technology is that thousands of prospective job seekers need not pound the streets in search of jobs, they can simply surf through the relevant web pages including the UK official employment information webpage to find out job opportunities and they can even apply online.
