The North of England was a great centre of industry – Leeds, Bradford and Sheffield being at the forefront in past centuries. Nowadays Leeds is a great shopping centre, with cutting-edge bars and clubs, and Sheffield is one of the best nights out in England. If you’re looking for something more sedate, York offers narrow medieval streets and the most spectacular cathedral in the North, York Minster.
