    Whether you fall into the resident or visitor category on your trip to Leeds, this visitor centre…read moreis an excellent resource to rely on. The amount of information on offer is staggering, any location or venue of cultural significance is available to take away in leaflet form. I frequently take a detour through the shop so that I can pick up a few current programmes for theatres and art-house cinemas within the area. The entire Yorkshire region is catered for, so any trip can be thoroughly organised with their guidance. The shop also has a range of Yorkshire and Harrogate teas, Grandma Wild's biscuits and other such twee goodies. I am referring to their presence because I have hastily purchased these items on a couple of occasions, ran around to neighbouring Paperchase and successfully presented a relative with a gift, as though it had been wrapped for weeks. This is not advisable, but sometimes unavoidable! Another excellent reason to remember the services of Leeds Visitor Centre is, they are an official vendor of local Ticketmaster events. I am often more popular with some friends and relatives around the end of March, when it is possible to purchase a Leeds Festival weekend ticket without the queues, panic or extortionate booking fees. Their presence in centrally located Leeds train station makes the shop incredibly convenient. With such helpful staff, they are worth investigating if you have lived in Leeds for years, or you are merely visiting for a few days.

    The first place most people will see as they walk out of the train station and turn left. Then most…read moreprobably, walk right past. There's a stigma attached to visitor centres, tourist information places and for want of a better example, guidebooks, isn't there? "No way man, I don't need a guidebook, I'm a free spirit, let me wander freely," maybe? Well, even if you're a resident of Leeds, the visitor centre can be a handy little place. Tickets, from theatre to Leeds Festival, are available here - free for the most part, of the extortionate booking fees you find at the established online ticket giants. As well, they cover all bases from places to stay, what's on, help with shopping, eating out tips, nightlife recommendations and information on the local sporting clubs. Go have a gander if you're a visitor or not, find out what's going on underneath the surface of our great city!

    I was really pleasantly surprised with the Great Orme…read more We did a seaside jaunt on the train to avoid bank holiday traffic, and I was a little concerned that all there would be to do was eat hot seaside doughnuts until I landed myself in a sugar coma, but the GO came to our aid. We walked up, starting in "Happy Valley", although there is a toll road, cable car (adults £10 single, £10.50 return- daft, £8 for children), and tramway. We timed it perfectly heading out of the sea mist, which cleared in time for fantastic views. It's clearly signed to get to the caves, mines, adorable churches and the summit, which has quite a packed complex of bars, cafes, kids play, fish and chips and ice cream. Quite frankly, I want to own one of the pretty farm houses on the Orme, and there was surprisingly little litter- we picked up the two bits we saw, but it made such a difference- just clean green and blue. I'd advise walking, maybe taking a picnic and grabbing a blackcurrant cheesecake ice cream at the top. We took the cablecar down, which was a long queue but lovely views- also, the longest cable car system in Great Britain, apparently!

    A wonderful circular walk - especially on a cracking late September day with the sun baking down!…read more Walked up from the town, past the bottom tramway station - it was such a lovely morning decided to skip the tram and walk up. It is a goodly walk (some 120m climb to the midway tramway station - staring along the road and then you come to a footpath just before the tramway station). You are rewarded with wonderful views on the way overlooking the bay - and also plenty of sheep and dogs. Atop the Great Orme splendid views await , both for nature and historical interest such as the medieval church of St. Tudno (who gave his name to Llandudno, an information board tells you).. In addition to a wonderful walk we cam across an artificial slop for skiing, snowboarding and tobogganing. A one way toll road, the marine drive goes all the way around the bottom of Orme and is a popular route for drivers, as the views from it are impressive. There is also a cable car that can transport you to the top around the Happy Valley gardens near the pier. Views from the summit are impressive - on a very clear day it's possible to see all the way over to the lake district. At the summit there's a car park, visitor centre, a couple of cafes and a play area for little ones. Despite the Orme's popularity, even in the height of summer it's possible to find plenty of quiet spots for walking or relaxing with a picnic. In short - a beautiful walk! After you head down - choices. Whether to go to Fish Tram Chips for award winning scrumptiousness, or the King's Head pub where, they say, the origins of Llandudno as a resort town were established. A win, either way!

The Eco Visitor Centre acts as the welcome point for the towns esplanade park and ride. The building has won loads of awards and was designed to act as a real demonstration of environmentally sound construction methods and the impacts we all have on the environment with our energy use. The Eco Visitor Centre generates most of its power and heat requirements from renewable technologies. Pretty cool! Facilities at the Eco Centre include the 'Eco Education Displays'. The centre is very geared up for schools to visit with an eco classroom and onsite teacher.

We went for the squirrel route which takes you south along the coast and then through the woodland and finally to the beach at Formby. The first part of the trip (coastal road) was hard! The wind was against us and it was a struggle to keep going However get your ipod on and keep at it because as soon as you turn off into the woodland the ride becomes a lot more fun :-) The woods was the best part as you got the reward of whizzing down the hills once you'd made it up them! The beach was quiet, although very windy and it started to rain a bit so we headed back. The way back was a lot easier once the wind was behind us. There and back was about 18 miles and took us about 2 1/2 hours. It's a shame we had to catch our train home because it would have been nice to stay on the beach a bit longer and we might of been able to join onto another of the routes when we got back to the main road. I would definitely hire from here again and try one of the other routes. Or maybe do the squirrel one again and spend longer down at the beach if it's a nice day.
