There is sometimes nothing more pleasurable than a good old-fashioned picnic.
It’s a chance to get outdoors with your friends and family and relax while munching on great food.
And as the UK experiences an ongoing hot spell, now is the perfect time to soak up the sunshine.
We asked you to tell us the perfect places for a picnic across Leeds, and you came up with some fantastic suggestions.
From Roundhay Park to Temple Newsam, these are some of the top picnic spots in our city.

13. Meanwood Park
Four miles from central Leeds, Meanwood Park is a brilliant spot to visit if you want a break from the city. With plenty of benches, you don't even need to bring a mat to enjoy a picnic here. | James Hardisty
