Description
HIGHLIGHTS: Haworth, Walking tour of Saltaire, Skipton, Leeds & Liverpool Canal Cruise, Settle to Carlisle Railway

Once at the heart of the great cotton trade in the North of England, where the great factories of weavers clothed the nation, the rich past can still be seen in the buildings of Bradford and the surrounding Yorkshire villages. But most breathtaking is the scenery and on this tour you get to enjoy the fabric of the Yorkshire Dales by boat and rail, as well as discovering the wonderful story of one of Bradford's most famous sons.

**Please note it is a condition of travel with Grand UK, for all passengers to hold valid travel insurance for the duration of their tour.**
Itinerary
Excursions
YOUR EXCURSIONS

FULL DAY: This morning we drive to Saltaire, a 'model' Victorian industrial village created by Sir Titus Salt for workers in his woollen mills. We enjoy a fascinating guided walking tour as we meander through history. We continue onwards towards Haworth where the Brontë sisters wrote many of their finest works at the Parsonage. We return by skirting Pendle Hill, home to the Pendle Witches, one of the most famed witch trials in English history.

FULL DAY: Today we head for Skipton to explore the colourful market. From the popular Canal Basin, we join our boat cruise on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal for a lively and fascinating journey through history - including a relaxing cup of Yorkshire tea!

FULL DAY: A scenic delight this morning as we head to the small town of Settle. Here we board our train for the stunning Settle to Carlisle rail journey - regarded as one of the finest rail journeys in Europe.
