Car Rental in Bishop Auckland

Among the permanent symbols of Leeds is the beautiful Cathedral, which since its foundation was the seat of the local bishop. The very first church in its place was built in 1838. A few years after the construction was completed, it began to expand. The reformation of the church was finally completed by 1901. Now, it is a spectacular monument in the Neo-Gothic style.

An equally impressive architectural site is the Church of St. Peter. In its place, the very first church was built in the 7th century, and later it was completely destroyed during a major fire. Subsequently, the religious monument was destroyed twice more by fire. The last church managed to be fully preserved not only its appearance, but also its interior decoration. Inside, visitors can see an ancient organ, very beautiful stained-glass windows and mosaics.

In the north-western part of Leeds you can see the ruins of the Kirkstall Abbey, which was built in 1152. The monastery ceased to exist during the reign of Henry VIII. Not so long ago, the dilapidated historical building was restored and opened for visits. Some parts of the monastery have survived quite well. During an excursion, visitors will be told about how monks spent their life hundreds of years ago.
