Leeds, the third largest city in the United Kingdom, is situated on the banks of the River Aire in northern England, within easy reach of the natural beauties of the Yorkshire Dales, the North York Moors, and the Pennines. Leeds is the historic hub for the country's manufacturing industry and textile trade as well as the cultural, sporting and shopping center for much of the Airedale region. The central location of the city in West Yorkshire provides easy access to the rest of Great Britain; London is only 2 ½ hours away and Edinburgh 3 hours by train. Leeds is noted for its extensive parks and open spaces. The city center is a mix of modern and traditional architecture with contemporary commercial and shopping precincts standing next to Victorian and Tudor buildings.
