Situated close to Bradford & Leeds for transport yet another world away, this is a great place for views, walking & fresh air. See the historical bell pits where coal was mined many years ago. Transport is available to Baildon village Baildon Lucy Hall or Eldwick Beck Bottom or for a longer walk, take the train to Saltaire and enjoy Roberts Park, Saltaire village and at weekends have a ride on the Shipley Glen famous tramway.

The water taxi is great, free - with a donations jar inside. From outside the Armories museum to the back of the train station, well worth doing to see the city from the river, it's a great way to travel form one end to the other. The problem is I only found out about the taxi from family who had previously been, if you didn't already know about it you'd miss it. There isn't a single sign, no timetable. No way of knowing when the taxi will be coming in or leaving. I just had to stand behind the locked gate near the taxi and make eye contact with the guy until he opened the gate. It's a very odd way of doing things and no help to anyone, it really alienates the tourists. Obviously the armories is the go to thing around here, good for a couple of hours of free entertainment. There's a walk by the canal and around the renovated docks, past the barges. The Tetley is also just around the corner. It's good walking distance from the city centre, doesn't take long at all

Such a concentration of beautiful Victorian architecture is pretty rare any where in the country. The buildings are beautiful and make for a fantastic walk. Would be improved if they could attract a few additional cafes etc
