Open 11.00 Last admission 16.00. Please wrap up warm if visiting in winter. We are a small volunteer-run museum, so sorry - we don't have a cafe. We are located approx 400 ft after the totally separate Ingrow Loco Museum. We are close to the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway.You don't have to be a railway enthusiast to enjoy our museum! Over 60 television programmes and films have featured carriages from our museum. Watch the videos. Listen to the sound presentations as you sit inside the carriages. See the differences between 1st, 2nd and 3rd class. Signs, posters and small exhibits.
I am not a locomotive enthusiast but being a little older (51) I found it interesting to compare things here to what I remember from when I was little and my nana used to arrive by train in Sydney from Melbourne. I will make an effort to go back while I'm in the area and will be happy to pay the small entry fee again. I particularly loved the visual and audio recordings depicting early train travel.

Wonderful handmade chocolates from Belgium, England and Wales. Based in the beautiful village of Haworth, home to the Brontë sisters.
Small, lovely shop! Location is brilliant. Great prices! I love that allergies are noted under each item.

Imagine stepping 400 years back in time into the home of a 17th-century cloth merchant. See the changes that he made and discover why these were sadly never completed. Take a step away from the hectic everyday and experience the tranquillity that is East Riddlesden Hall. In contrast to the atmospheric exterior, this friendly house is brought to life through stories told by room guide volunteers. The house is home to a wonderful array of seventeenth century needlework and original exquisite plasterwork ceilings created by local craftsmen.
The visit is well worth it The place is full of history The staff are friendly and helpful The barn is worth a visit it is amazing

Beautifully landscaped park with lovely water features. The museum is free and well worth a visit. The house itself is stunning and retains its original furnishings. The museum has an extensive rock collection plus works of art and objects from local industrial history. The newly renovated cafe offers really yummy freshly baked home made cakes plus a selecion of food and drink and ice creams. The park houses small animals such as birds and rabbits which seem to be very popular with children and also a greenhouse with a collection of interesting plants and cacti. There is also a playground for the children. The park has lots of events throughout the year such as concerts and a garden party so it's worth checking on line to see what's going on. Last year I attended a free willow weaving course which was amazing and we got to take home the things we made. I would say cliffe castle is the best feature of the town and not to be missed.

My 13-year-old daughter and I made this hike one afternoon while staying in Haworth. I believe there are guided tours, but we decided to follow a crowd and do the hike ourselves. The falls are about 2 1/2 miles each way from the parsonage...another mile or 2 to Top Withens...but we didn't go that far. Lovely scenery and peaceful. We went on a partly cloudy day. I would take sturdy shoes and water to drink. It's a little hike but worth the effort!

We have visited here regularly with a 3 and 5 year old. The environment is clean and staff keep it tidy and hygienic. The play options are plentiful and adults can help and assist ( join in ! ) plenty to keep them entertained for a couple of hours, drinks and snacks are reasonably priced with a decent choice. It’s a family favourite and not expensive x
