When to visit
To experience Leek's true charm and pleasant weather, consider visiting during the warmer months of July and August. These months ensure almost no precipitation, allowing families to freely explore and enjoy outdoor activities together. However, keep in mind that Leek is busiest during July, October and December with tourism peaking in these months.
If you prefer a calm trip with a chilly climate, March is the slowest month for tourism and offers a serene escape for families. Always remember, as with any family holiday, to organise your visit during school breaks and to check the average weather for Leek in the desired month before booking your trip.
