Leeds, Yorkshire’s largest city and financial hub, has gone from strength to strength in recent years. The city has managed to retain its endearing northern soul while undergoing a regeneration that has welcomed some of the UK’s most luxurious shops, restaurants and outlets. Leeds’ city centre is packed full of museums and art galleries to while away the hours, but further afield you can find some of the country’s most idyllic countryside as well as country houses open to the public. So make the most of car hire in Leeds to discover everything Leeds and West Yorkshire has to offer.
Two of Yorkshire’s most cherished artists, Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth, both learned their craft at the Leeds School of Art, so head over to the City Art Gallery where some of their pieces amongst other artists are on permanent display. The building is adjoined to the Henry Moore Institute that houses sculptures from all around the world. On opposite sides of the galleries are two of the finest buildings in Leeds - its cathedral and its town hall. Leeds is a city that is surrounded by a number of great nearby tourist attractions, from parks to museums, so rent a car in Leeds and you’ll certainly be spoilt for choice
