Hide AdOn their Quorn Perfect Picnic Index, the brand said of the winner: “One of the largest parks in Europe, let alone the UK, Leeds’ very own Roundhay Park is a popular spot for visitors and locals alike. Stretching over more than 700 acres of grass, woodland and lake, this Leeds park has plenty to keep visitors of all ages entertained.
“Providing ample parking room if you come by car but also directly linked to the city centre by regular transport, if you’re in Leeds, you’re never too far from Roundhay.”
Joining the historic Leeds park on the list are Yorkshire parks Valley Garden in Harrogate and Yorkshire Sculpture Park in Wakefield, proving once again that our area has something for everyone.
Gill Riley, Marketing Director at Quorn commented on the list: “Summer is the perfect time to get out and about with family and what better way than a picnic in the park. The cost of living has stretched everyone, so a good old trip to the park with some snacks and sandwiches is a great way to spend time together whilst doing something fun and keeping those costs down.”
