The city of Leeds is very large and it’s understandable why it is one of the most car dependent cities in the UK.

Leeds is linked to many other cities making it very easy to get exploring, with the A62 taking you towards Bristall , A63 to Hull along with other roads such as, A64, A65 and A660.

Did you know that Leeds drew the first county maps of England?

It seems that Leeds town takes great interest in the contribution of travel and transport. Leeds is home to the first ever commercial railway and, excluding London, Leeds railway station is the third most demanding in the UK.
