A one-mile-long heritage railway which runs steam and diesel trains.. It was founded in 1758 to carry coal using horse-drawn waggons on wooden rails, and is the world's oldest continuously working public railway. In 1812 they started using steam trains on iron rails, and became a volunteer run heritage railway in 1960.

They were promoted in 2025 and now play soccer in the Premier League, the top tier. Elland Road Stadium (capacity 37,600) is two miles southwest of city centre - buses 51, 52, 54 and 55 run here. Driving, follow signs for "Park & Ride", which is how the area is used on non-match days. In 2022 the stadium hosted matches in the Rugby League World Cup Finals, postponed from 2021.

The River Aire can power mills but is not navigable, so the Leeds-Liverpool Canal was cut alongside and created a long ribbon of island. Thwaite Mill, built 1820, was perched on the island, with gated bridges to control who went in and out. It had various uses but mostly crushed stone to make builders' putty. Many similar businesses were on the island, which stretches for miles down to Oulton, and is now a quiet footpath.
