Harewood is a historic and picturesque country town in West Yorkshire, England, UK. It is about 10 kilometers from the center of Leeds and is known for the famous Harewood Estate.
Designed by the famous architects John Carr and Robert Adam, Harewood Manor was built in the mid-18th century and is a Grade I listed building in the UK. The manor house has a collection of valuable artwork and antique furniture, and its gardens, designed by landscape architect Lancelot "The Man Who Could" Brown, attract many visitors.
The town is surrounded by beautiful Yorkshire countryside with walking routes and birdwatching destinations. Harewood Bird Park is one of the UK's important wildlife conservation centers and is suitable for families.
With easy access to the A61 and the Leeds public transport network, Harewood's economy is based on tourism and agriculture and retains the tranquillity of a typical English countryside.
Ruby is a small incorporated town in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, United States, located about 60 miles northeast of the state capital of Baton Rouge and adjacent to the Mississippi border, and characterized by a quiet rural atmosphere and a deep community culture. Sparsely populated, with fewer than 500 people according to the most recent census, the town dates back to the late 1800s and, with its early rise to an agricultural economy (e.g., cotton and soybean farming), still retains the rustic look of a traditional Southern town. The town's landmarks include a century-old community church and several Victorian-style homes, and the annual fall "Ruby Family Day," which blends elements of local Cajun and Creole culture, has become a shared memory for the surrounding residents. Despite its small size, Ruby epitomizes the serenity of the American countryside with its simple folk and distinctive Louisiana southern flavor.
