Take the road north on this two-day itinerary to Yorkshire, and take in the sights of two of its most culturally and historically rich cities, Leeds and York. You'll visit the Royal Armouries Museum and Kirkgate Market – Europe's largest indoor market – in Leeds, and delve into the medieval past of York, famous for its marvellous cathedral, York Minster, and the Shambles – one of the world's best-preserved shopping streets from the middle ages. Food is also central to culture in these two brilliant cities, and you'll be sampling plenty of typical – and not so typical – fare for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
