Striking up conversations with strangers gets you of your comfort zone and opens up a world of opportunity especially when you&#8217;re spontaneous with your plans. The funny thing about taking street style photos in Leeds\u00a0is that people approach me first and ask about what I do out of pure curiousity. That has literally never happened anywhere during my travels. The people in Yorkshire still live up to the\u00a0reputation of being the friendliest people in Britain.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-10480 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-large'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wonders-north-leeds-manchester-knaresborough\/leeds-city-yorkshire-11'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/leeds-city-yorkshire-11-683x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Broadcasting Place leeds\" srcset=\"https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/leeds-city-yorkshire-11-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/leeds-city-yorkshire-11-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/leeds-city-yorkshire-11-280x420.jpg 280w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/leeds-city-yorkshire-11-560x840.jpg 560w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/leeds-city-yorkshire-11-640x960.jpg 640w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/leeds-city-yorkshire-11-681x1022.jpg 681w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/leeds-city-yorkshire-11.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wonders-north-leeds-manchester-knaresborough\/leeds-city-yorkshire-11-copy'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/leeds-city-yorkshire-11-copy-683x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"leeds calls landing dock reflections\" srcset=\"https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/leeds-city-yorkshire-11-copy-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/leeds-city-yorkshire-11-copy-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/leeds-city-yorkshire-11-copy-280x420.jpg 280w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/leeds-city-yorkshire-11-copy-560x840.jpg 560w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/leeds-city-yorkshire-11-copy-640x960.jpg 640w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/leeds-city-yorkshire-11-copy-681x1022.jpg 681w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/leeds-city-yorkshire-11-copy.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>If you do find yourself in\u00a0Yorkshire then Leeds\u00a0simply has to be part of your itinerary.

They make it up as they go along and enjoy every second of it.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-5' class='gallery galleryid-10480 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-large'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wonders-north-leeds-manchester-knaresborough\/manchester-england-city-8'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/manchester-england-city-8-768x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"manchester library\" srcset=\"https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/manchester-england-city-8-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/manchester-england-city-8-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/manchester-england-city-8-315x420.jpg 315w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/manchester-england-city-8-630x840.jpg 630w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/manchester-england-city-8-640x853.jpg 640w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/manchester-england-city-8-681x908.jpg 681w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/manchester-england-city-8.jpg 810w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wonders-north-leeds-manchester-knaresborough\/social-_mg_0746'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/social-_MG_0746-768x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"manchester library\" srcset=\"https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/social-_MG_0746-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/social-_MG_0746-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/social-_MG_0746-315x420.jpg 315w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/social-_MG_0746-630x840.jpg 630w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/social-_MG_0746-640x853.jpg 640w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/social-_MG_0746-681x908.jpg 681w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/social-_MG_0746.jpg 810w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>It was fun to come back to Manchester and have a walk down memory lane.

Located about 30 minutes drive from Leeds, Knaresborough is a postcard town\u00a0if I ever saw one. On a good day\u00a0it feels like you&#8217;re walking through a fairy tale dreamt up by Roald Dahl. Vibrant colours are all around, you can buy ice cream literally everywhere and rent a little\u00a0boat if you&#8217;re in a romantic mood.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-6' class='gallery galleryid-10480 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-large'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wonders-north-leeds-manchester-knaresborough\/knaresborough-yorkshire-5'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/knaresborough-yorkshire-5-768x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"knaresborough-yorkshire-2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/knaresborough-yorkshire-5-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/knaresborough-yorkshire-5-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/knaresborough-yorkshire-5-315x420.jpg 315w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/knaresborough-yorkshire-5-630x840.jpg 630w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/knaresborough-yorkshire-5-640x853.jpg 640w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/knaresborough-yorkshire-5-681x908.jpg 681w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/knaresborough-yorkshire-5.jpg 810w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wonders-north-leeds-manchester-knaresborough\/knaresborough-yorkshire-2'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/knaresborough-yorkshire-2-768x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"knaresborough-yorkshire-2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/knaresborough-yorkshire-2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/knaresborough-yorkshire-2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/knaresborough-yorkshire-2-315x420.jpg 315w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/knaresborough-yorkshire-2-630x840.jpg 630w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/knaresborough-yorkshire-2-640x853.jpg 640w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/knaresborough-yorkshire-2-681x908.jpg 681w, https:\/\/antondee.com\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/knaresborough-yorkshire-2.jpg 810w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Just around the corner there is England&#8217;s oldest tourist attraction Mother Shiptons Cave as well as Knaresborough Castle, a ruined fortress overlooking the River Nidd.
