Top Rated Parks to Visit in Copley

"You’ll find one of the biggest parks in Europe three miles north of Leeds city centre. Roundhay Park is a beautiful outdoor space that covers a massive 700 acres, with landscaped gardens, rolling parkland and two scenic lakes. It’s a great place to get back to nature, but you’ll also find a few man-made attractions here that are just as worthy of your time – think adventure playgrounds, sports pitches, tennis courts and a skate park."

"At 700 acres, Roundhay Park is one of the biggest urban parks in Europe. It’s twice the size of Hyde Park in London and offers a multitude of adventures. The vast network of paths stretches beyond the landscape gardens into the woodlands where you’ll find quaint riverside rambles, picturesque gorge walks and calf-burning hikes that promise incredible views."

"Another great historic house with plenty to do in the grounds for kids, Temple Newsam is only around 15 minutes’ drive from Leeds city centre. The rare breed Home farm is a big hit with younger kids – and older ones, for that matter – with everything from the small and fluffy, including guinea pigs, to rarer farm animals, all set within the outbuildings and around the cobbled yard. There are some lovely walks around the grounds too, with nature trails and an adventure playground too."

"Grandeur is the order of the day at Temple Newsam, with a huge stately home dominating the impressive grounds to the east of the city, which were initially designed by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown. The gorgeous gardens are impressive enough by themselves, but you can also entertain the little ones with a trip to Home Farm or the brand new Go Ape course for the adventurous ones among you!"

"Perfect for a nice walk to escape the city’s frenzy for a few hours.Moss Bridge Road, Rodley, Leeds LS13 1HP"

Lister Park is located outside the downtown area and is one of the city’s biggest attractions, given to the city of Bradford by Samuel Cunliffe Lister. The park has been effectively revamped, the lake has been re-opened for boats and a Mughal water garden has been developed."

"Address & map:27 Vinery Rd, Burley, Leeds LS4 2LB, United Kingdom. Sometimes leg stretches don’t require a vast green space, particularly for the little-limbed pals among us. In those cases, Burley Park is a city centre salvation: a small dog-friendly park that provides enough good smells for even the most inquisitive of pups–particularly those still on the lead–as well as frisbee space for the older members of the clan."

"Manchester’s legendary stand-up comedy club remains an ever-popular destination, and has hosted pretty much every big name in comedy over the past 19 years. TripAdvisor reviewers had high praise for the venue’s staff, drinks and hot food offering. Typical reviews include: “Food was good, staff friendly and comedy funny."

"The one you think of when someone says comedy in Manchester. Located on Deansgate Locks, this perfectly placed club offers some of the best stand up in town. Their auditorium set up makes it perfect for stand up."

"Contact Theatre will be heading out across Manchester this summer for a series of outdoor performances. Contact is an Oxford Road theatre and performing arts venue creating and producing its own shows, as well as hosting tours from the world’s best theatre companies. Contact will be heading out across the city this summer, delivering a series of outdoor performances before its building reopens to the public in September 2021."

"One of the best outdoor restaurants in Manchester, The Ape & Apple is an ideal pitstop after a long day of exploring the city. With friendly locals, monthly-changing ales and a secret terrace out the back, this place ticks all of our alfresco dining boxes."

"Tuck into delicious Vietnamese cuisine at the popular Bistro Saigon restaurant. Whether you fancy a leisurely lunch with the whole family or a memorable evening meal, it makes for a great choice while in the local area. Signature dishes include roast duck red curry, chilli beef and chicken pho, plus much more."

"Despite having the most unimaginative name in the city, The Restaurant Bar and Grill has held its own over the years as the city has changed unrecognisably around it. With a crowd-pleasing but creative menu featuring all the steak and seafood you'd expect, the "sky garden" was given a massive cash injection in 2012 and is always packed. It might well have the comfiest seats of all roof gardens in Manchester too."

"Located on John Dalton Street, The Restaurant Bar and Grill is known for its mouthwatering menu of steaks that come sourced from Aberdeen, Argentina and Canada. With a swanky roof terrace, this place is perfect for a romantic alfresco date night."

"Address: Ridgefield House, 14 John Dalton St, Manchester M2 6JR. Phone number: 0161 839 1999. Price: £25 per person + price of brunch dish"

"Manchester is undoubtedly a music lover’s city, so this rock ’n’ roll-themed chain fits right in. It serves American classics in energetic surroundings, with plenty for the kids to marvel at, including a jacket worn by Elvis Presley and Kurt Cobain’s guitar.. The kids menu has some nice healthier options too, such as chicken salad, tomato and broccoli pasta and fresh fruit."

"About: What could be more fun than rocking out with the kids?. For families who love great music, delicious food and good times the Hard Rock is the go-to restaurant!. This rock'n'roll inspired venue serves up ample portions of authentic American Diner cuisine, with a hearty helping of rock memorabilia and juke box tunes on the side."

"The Rock is home to over 50 stores, a Vue cinema, 24 lane AMF bowling alley as well as cafés and restaurants. With flagship stores Debenhams and M&S plus high street retailers such as Primark, H&M, Topshop, and River Island."
