Interesting Activities
Canal trips walk or sail bookings made down by the canal basin.
Local pubs all offer something different; from the Real Ales of the Woolly Sheep, the retro Sound Bar where you can relive the vinyl, to the upmarket VSQ Gin Bar Alexander’s Bar & Kitchen. A personal favourite of mine is The Albion found on Otley Street around the corner, with a fabulous Heated Beer Garden, Pub Quiz Night and live music occasionally. So something for everybody.
