Monk Bridge Viaduct Garden, Leeds

I've been to Leeds today to meet up with friends and have a meal together. I decided to arrive in Leeds early and visit a part of the city I'd recently read about, the Monk Bridge Viaduct Garden. It's only about a five minute walk from the railway station. Before reaching the viaduct there's small museum, the Lift Hoist Museum, which didn't open until ten o'clock and so I had to go exploring first and then return a bit later.



















Access up onto the viaduct is via a lift or a spiral staircase. I chose the lift.






I found the modern highrise buildings to be more interesting than the garden. There was a variety of outdoor puzzles and games though to make it more interesting during the nice weather.





On my way back to the city centre I popped into the museum to shelter from the rain for a few minutes.
