Halifax and Saltaire World Heritage: We begin our day by travelling to the industrial Pennine Town of Halifax. Formerly the heart of England's woollen industry, this charming market town is now home to some of the region's best-preserved Georgian and Victorian landmarks, none more so than Piece Hall. This Grade 1 listed masterpiece, has been a focal point in Halifax for over 230 years. Heading home from Halifax we visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Saltaire Village named after Sir Titus Salt who built a textile mill and this village on the River Aire. Walking around Saltaire you will become aware of its exceptionally complete and well preserved industrial heritage dating back to the second half of the 19th century. The urban plan survives intact today, giving a vivid impression of Salt’s vision for industrial management.
York: An elegant trip to Yorkshire wouldn’t be complete without visiting the spiritual capital of the North. Medieval York is a beautiful compact riverside city famous for its Roman, Viking, and Medieval heritage dating back 2000 years. Within the ancient walls and twisting atmospheric streets you will find an array of sights to discover; like iconic York Minster, JORVIK and a host of museums, shops, charming tea rooms and traditional pubs.
