Take a map of Britain.

Central to the main island - into the North of what is now England - is the county of Yorkshire, fairly central to which is the city of Leeds.

To the immediate East of Leeds is the area that is still today called Elmet. It still has a Member of Parliament. Once it was somewhat larger than today's Parliamentary area; it was also an independent Celtic Kingdom.

This web of pages attempts to cover some of the last 2000 years of it's history.

This page covers the 'where'. You may need it to understand some of the other tales and histories on this site.
