The map
Leeds grew up on the River Aire in West Yorkshire, and on the map the river and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal run side by side along the south of the centre. The city core sits just north of the water on rising ground. It is a compact area of Victorian streets, arcades and civic buildings bounded by the inner ring road.
Beyond the centre the pattern changes quickly. To the north lie the University of Leeds campus, the terraced streets of Hyde Park and Headingley, the open space of Woodhouse Moor and, further out, Roundhay Park. To the west the river valley leads past the ruins of Kirkstall Abbey. Motorways and railway lines add sweeping curves around the edges.
In the nineteenth century Leeds became one of the great centres of the wool and textile trade, and its town hall and covered arcades date from that period. A Leeds map poster shows how the industrial riverside, the Victorian core and the leafy northern suburbs fit together, with the ring road drawing a clear line between them.

A partly sunken ring road wraps around the north and west of the city centre. It forms a strong curved boundary between the core and the districts around it.
One of the largest city parks in Europe, Roundhay Park spreads across the north-east of the city with lakes and woodland. On the map it is a broad green shape.

Why Leeds
Leeds maps go to students who spent three years in Headingley, to families from across Yorkshire and to anyone who has walked from the station to the market. The mix of river, canal, terraces and parks is detailed without feeling crowded.
