Leeds
If you’re in Leeds the Royal Armouries is the United Kingdom’s national collection of arms and armour and the museum is an interesting experience (LS10 1LT). Originally an important part of England’s military organisation, it became the United Kingdom’s oldest museum. Leeds is a popular daytrip destination for those living in the market town of Skipton
Another attraction in Leeds is Roundhay Park, it is one of the biggest city parks in Europe and it covers more than 700 acres of parkland, lakes, woodland and gardens which are owned by Leeds City Council. The park is one of the most popular attractions in Leeds; nearly a million people visit each year (LS8 2HH).
Another option is to explore Kirkstall Abbey, a ruined Cistercian monastery in Kirkstall, north-west of Leeds city centre (LS5 3EH). It is set in a public park on the north bank of the River Aire. It was founded c.1152 and it was disestablished during the Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII.
If you have had enough of city life, a trip out to the lovely market town of Skipton is always pleasurable. The town is a civil parish in the Craven district of North Yorkshire and historically in the East Division of Staincliffe Wapentake in the West Riding of Yorkshire and to the south of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. The drive from Leeds to Skipton will take you around 50 minutes.

Relationship breakdowns and heartache around Leeds and Skipton
Even if you were the one to instigate the breakup, the end of a marriage or relationship is difficult and will throw your life into turmoil as you realise there are lots of issues to work through with the person you no longer want to be with. Communications will be tricky and stressful. Maybe you didn’t see the break-up coming and are in shock or have escaped a violent marriage and don’t know which way to turn. Whatever the reason, dealing with your feelings isn’t easy. The other side of the coin could be that you still want to be with your partner and to be married. Releasing a relationship for whatever reason, can leave the future looking very bleak and intimidating. It’s a difficult time. Don’t be afraid to ask for help.
You will be forced to deal with issues you never thought you would have to consider such as sharing childcare, moving house, dealing with in-laws and if the separation isn’t amicable you could be led into lengthy court proceedings; dealing with solicitors and legal jargon. All this will take its toll on your mental wellbeing. You have to remember that thousands of people every year go through this process too. The majority of them go onto lead happy and enriched lives and say that they are the happiest they have ever been. There is light at the end of the tunnel, you just need to find a way to see it and maybe you need someone to guide you to that illumination.
You’re likely to feel an abundance of emotions; one minute on a high of adrenalin when something goes your way and the next grieving for what you believe you have lost. It’s a rollercoaster and you are not sure when the ride will stop. Anger and confusion only add to the severe anxiety which is making you hyper-vigilant.
