HAWORTH & SALTAIRE VICTORIAN VILLAGE
Saltaire Village is near Bradford in West Yorkshire, England. It is named after Sir Titus Salt who built a textile mill, known as Salts Mill and this village on the River Aire. In December 2001, Saltaire was
designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Then on to Haworth, home of the Bronte Sisters.
HARROGATE, SKIPTON & EMMERDALE COUNTRY
Harrogate is the definitive boutique spa town in the heart of Yorkshire. Its thriving streets buzz with busy Harrogate shops and eateries, including the famous Bettys Tea Rooms.
Born through a boom in Spa tourism during the Victorian 1800s Harrogate quickly developed a reputation for luxurious getaways for body and soul. The high society of Victorian Britain flocked to
Harrogate to enjoy the air, the space and the therapeutic spa treatments as well as taking the famous Harrogate waters. On this excursion day we also visit Skipton, crowned with its Norman Castle and into EMMERDALE COUNTRY; through Harewood (near the current film sets), Otley (the setting for Hotten) and Esholt - the original setting for ‘Beckindale’. Call into the ‘Woolpack’ for a quickie and stroll around the village.
