Be part of the Virgin Money London
Marathon on 28th April, whether you
run, walk or cheer from the sidelines,
The first half of the route runs just south

on Tower Bridge, runners pass some of
the capital’s most famous landmarks,
including the Tower of London and
Big Ben, before finishing in front of
Buckingham Palace. Celebrities who
have run in previous years include Chris
Evans, Princess Beatrice and Gordon
Ramsay, and even astronaut Tim Peake
in the International Space Station.

A 20-minute drive from central Leeds,
Lotherton is a fine Edwardian country
home with extensive grounds. Peek
into bedrooms, relax in the drawing
room and imagine a 15-course feast
in the dining room. Former owners the
Gascoignes were great collectors and
the house contains a wonderful range of
furniture, paintings, sculpture, silver, pottery
and porcelain. Outside, there are beautiful
gardens and Lotherton’s wildlife park.

The Musée des Beaux Arts is housed in

Bishops’ Palace. It covers the town’s
history through Roman artefacts, and has
a collection of Egyptian antiquities and

Renaissance to some of the most famous
20th-century painters like Renoir and
Valadon. In addition, there is a collection
of etchings and drawings as well as
modern and contemporary sculptures.
The upper storey displays Limoges enamel

is the pride of the museum.
