There’s something undeniably calming about living beside water. Canals bring a sense of peace and balance to urban life—inviting you to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with nature. At Stãll, Citu’s sustainable Kirkstall community, the waterside lifestyle isn’t just a view—it’s a way of living. This summer, make the most of it with these five simple pleasures just steps from your door.

Enjoy a Walk

Start your day with a gentle walk along the towpath—whether it’s a morning reset or an evening wind-down, the calming rhythm of water and trees makes this a perfect daily ritual.

Cycle the Canal

Hop on your bike and follow the towpath all the way to Saltaire, a scenic UNESCO World Heritage Site just over an hour’s ride away (around 13 miles). Once there, enjoy cafes, galleries, and a dose of Victorian history.

Meet Friends for a Pint at the Kirkstall Bridge Inn

Just a short stroll from Stãll, this beloved riverside pub is perfect for summer evenings—great beer, hearty food, and a leafy beer garden right by the water.

Enjoy the Wildlife

From darting kingfishers to sunbathing dragonflies, the canal is home to a surprising variety of wildlife. Keep your eyes and ears open—you never know what you’ll spot.

Practise Mindful Moments

Bring a sketchbook or a good book and find a quiet bench by the canal. Whether you’re drawing, journaling, or simply breathing it all in, there’s no better backdrop for mindfulness.

Stall at Kirkstall isn’t just a place to live—it’s a chance to live better. Explore waterside living with Citu this summer, homes available to move in to now.
