Day 52: Rest Day at Leeds

It is a rest day at Leeds. We were all tired, we had plans to visit Scotland, Wales, Ireland and Northern Ireland in next few days. We decided to take rest inspite of the heavy schedule to be completed before 12^th July.

Leeds is a city in the northern English county of Yorkshire. On the south Bank of River Aire, the Royal Armouries houses the national collection of arms and artillery. It is about 350 kms. from London.

Leeds has one of the most diverse economies of all the UK’s main employment centres and has seen the fastest rate of private sector jobs growth of any UK city. It also has the highest ratio of private to public sector jobs of all the UK’s core cities, with 77% of its workforce working in the private sector.
