World famous Headingley Carnegie Stadium is a must for Cricket and Rugby both codes - League and Union fans. Quite unique in serving both sports - a 'siamese' stadium. The annual Test match is a highlight of Leeds' sporting calendar.
Though there are few specific 'sights' in the area, the old cottages and shops of the Far Headingley conservation area are very pretty especially Cottage Road, as are the leafy streets and Victorian terraces and villas to the north further up the Otley Road. There is an old Victorian 'folly' in Queenswood behind Leeds Metropolitan University built to celebrate the visit of Queen Victoria to Leeds in 1858.
Another odditiy is The Bear Pit on Cardigan Road. This is the last vestiges of Leeds Zoological and Botanical Gardens, an unsuccessful Victorian business. Built in 1840, bears were displayed in a circular pit with the public viewing them from the castelated turrets.
