- We take a walk around Saltaire Village to see if this Victorian UNESCO World Heritage Site is worth visiting? We visit the shops, Salt’s Mill and also the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. Built by Sir Titus Salt for his mill workers this Victorian model village is one of the best preserved in the world and many of the old workers houses still remain in their original state. We also check out some popular places to eat and buy a delicious pasty from the bakery. Saltaire is situated on the Leeds to Liverpool Canal and also on the River Aire near Bradford in West Yorkshire.

Great information as always 😊 I've never heard of such a prestigious place! Definitely one to visit. Thankyou
Thanks! We only came across it as we were in Bradford and had a few hours to spare… so glad we did. One of only two UNESCO World Heritage sites in Yorkshire apparently. Hope you’re able to visit one day soon 😊

What a great looking place - worth a visit when I'm next up North! 😁

Very nice little video. We are all in favour of free parking. I've got a nose for it and seek it out wherever I can find it.
It makes the day that much sweeter when you can find it 😁 Thank you
I live about 5 miles away from salts mill and used to drive past it on my way to work, but I can say I’ve never been to see it.
Didn’t really think it would be as interesting as the video shows. So this summer I will make a trip there.
We were really surprised too. There was so much to explore 😊 Hope you enjoy your visit 👍🏼
Hi guys.
Thank you.
Thank you too!

If you are visiting by car there is also a very large, free car park to the east of the main mill building - follow the satnav/GPS for Salts Mill Road (postcode BD17 7DR) There are brown signs for 'Salts Mill' and the '1853 Gallery'. Titus Salt specialised in not just any old wool, but Alpaca wool!. The Mill building is a great place to shop for gifts with a book shop, a kitchen/homewares shop, a jewellery shop and an art and art book shop. The cafes inside are good. There is a David Hockney exhibition - both permanent and occasional ones. A pleasant and interesting place to visit.
Thanks so much for sharing, we had a really enjoyable time and looking forward to hearing more comments from those who have been or are planning to visit 😊
