3 Haworth
Haworth’s fame is mainly thanks to the three famous Bronte sisters: you can still visit their childhood home at the Bronte Parsonage Museum. The village also deserves to be better known for its independent shops, popular events and the fact that it was the world’s first Fairtrade Village.
As you walk up the steep but picturesque cobbled Main Street, you may understand why it’s twinned with the hilltop settlement of Machu Picchu in Peru!
Enhance your visit... Take a walk to Top Withens or
to the Balcony Tea Rooms in Ferndean Manor, overlooking Haworth Moor.

Keighley
Keighley is just a short hop away from Haworth, particularly if you ride on the famous Keighley & Worth Valley steam railway. Find out more about the history of transport at the Keighley Bus Museum or Vintage Carriages Trust and Museum of Rail Travel.
Enhance your visit... Visit the newly refurbished Cliffe Castle Museum where you’ll discover stories of Keighley and its people, including magic spells and the “Hen-Peck’d Club for Husbands”!

Hidden gems: Shipley, Bingley and Baildon
Next to Saltaire is Shipley, beside the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. Across the River Aire is a wooded ridge called Shipley Glen, which attracts visitors who want to enjoy time outdoors.
Nearby Bingley is another good place to stroll by the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and to see the impressive Bingley Five Rise Locks, a master- piece of 18th century engineering.
Baildon has some quirky and interesting shops. ‘Don’t miss’ events include a Scarecrow Festival, Harley Davidson weekend and farmers market.
Enhance your visit... Take a trip back in time, riding up the steep valley on the Shipley Glen Cable Tramway, the oldest working cable tramway in Britain.
