Shipley Glen Tramway — Attraction in Bradford

You can't have an entire day out here but if you are doing something else in the area it's worth stopping by and having a ride, a return trip takes about 10 mins so there's no...

You can get out at the top platform to walk around the hilltop and visit the pub there, using a day rover ticket to go back down when you're ready. A real bonus is that they are happy to allow dogs on-board with you, making this an ideal little outing for all the family. Well worth supporting the hard work of...
