Up the hill from the Headingley pubs, Beckett Park is the neighbourhood’s green escape: broad avenues of mature trees, tennis courts, bowling and a play area, with views back over the city.

The park grew up with the old Beckett Park teacher-training college beside it — today’s Leeds Beckett University campus — and keeps a calm, leafy character that the student quarter below sometimes needs.
