Halifax Piece Hall & Shibden Hall & Park (full day)
For our first visit we head to Piece Hall in Halifax, the unique 18th-century cloth halls building, which was the focal point for the woven textiles trade industry. This impressive and prestigious building is a sight to behold, and don’t miss the statue of Anne Lister in the courtyard, which was unveiled by the TV series creator Sally Wainwright and lead actress Suranne Jones.

Afterwards, we make our way to Anne Lister’s former home, Shibden Hall. Here we can explore the Hall, recognisable from the TV series, which was partly filmed here. This atmospheric gem is a mile from Halifax town centre, surrounded by beautiful gardens and an impressive estate that forms Shibden Park. There is much to see and remember, at Shibden Hall she had them all…

Salts Mill, Saltaire & Keighley & Worth Valley Railway (full day)
We begin our day visiting Saltaire village, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the home of Salts Mill, which was turned into a street scene with a pub and chemist for the Gentleman Jack TV series. Salts Mill was a huge undertaking; at its peak it turned out 18 miles of cloth a day on 1200 looms, and its name stems from the textile magnate, Sit Titus Salt, who opened the mill in 1853.

Next, we travel to Keighley for a delightful journey on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway, a unique five-mile branch line in the heart of Yorkshire and made popular by The Railway Children. Sit back and relax while taking in the delightful views on our journey to the quaint little village of Haworth.
