Mike Hampshire from Tours of Leeds became a full-time guide in 2022 with
00:05
his flagship Leeds Heritage pub and brewery tour exploring 300 years of beer
00:10
history. Enjoyed by locals and international visitors alike, his latest
00:14
tour dives into Leeds history by the water.
00:17
It's the Leeds Heritage waterfront audio tour and quiz challenge which is a name that really
00:21
rolls off the tongue I just call it the waterfront tour. There's 17 stops on there so
00:26
we actually start down at Marshalls Mill where we understand a little bit about
00:29
the history of the mill and how important it was to the Industrial
00:32
Revolution not just in Leeds but across the country as well. We then make our way
00:37
via pubs funnily enough to do with Heritage Beer Tour, arrive in Granary Wharf
00:43
walk alongside the Leeds River area really down past Asda House, visit the
00:48
David Ollowiley Bridge, there's another couple of great pubs around there as
00:51
well which is the Old Red Lion which has got Tales of Hauntings and the Adelphi
00:55
which was once hosted the Leeds UFO Club, through to Brewery Wharf and then all the
01:00
way down finishing up at the Lamb and Flag. This particular tour is delivered via the
01:06
Navicup app with Mike narrating and the answers to the quiz challenge are within
01:10
your surroundings. Over the last three centuries the waterway has completely
01:13
transformed from being this incredible industrial hub surrounded by huge
01:17
factories and mills and the waterway itself serving such an important purpose
01:22
for travel it transporting goods across the north of England. A beautiful thing
01:25
about Leeds really is it's actually the city centre is very walkable you know
01:28
when you go to other cities across the north they're quite quite vast centres
01:31
but Leeds is not like that and this waterfront actually goes right the way
01:34
through the middle of it so there's a great way of experiencing, everybody
01:37
loves water anyway don't they, it's just a nice relaxing thing to be walking by
01:41
but to hear the stories around what has happened in this area as you are doing
01:45
doing the tour is particularly great and you know Leeds is fast becoming a really
01:49
great tourist hotspot and you know guided tours whether you're a visitor
01:53
to the city whether you're someone who lives in the city this is actually a
01:56
great way to learn about the city whether you live here or you don't.
