Welcome to Go Yorkshireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Guide for 2016

Turn to page 48 for a list of key events happening in South & West Yorkshire and the surrounding area in 2016

The heritage of West and South Yorkshire has been founded on Victorian enterprise, predominantly the industries of textiles, steel and coal that steadily declined in the early part of the 20th century. Today, the cities of Leeds and Sheffield have been transformed into major centres of commerce. The gleaming high rise and innovative architecture is a stark contrast to the traditional market towns and Pennine villages that still remain. The handsome Victorian architecture can still be seen in towns such as Halifax, Bradford and Huddersfield and are ideal bases for exploring this part of the world, boasting some of the finest hotels in Yorkshire. Museums can be found in every town, telling the story of the Industrial Revolution and the great concentration of historic houses in this part of Yorkshire, which were built during this time, are the legacy of the immense wealth generated for the Mill owners from the toil of their workers.

Surprisingly, amongst this urban landscape there are plenty of idyllic places to escape, walk, cycle and explore, with two National Parks on its doorstep and the Pennine Trail traversing the backbone of England. This National Trail starts at Edale in the Peak District National Park and continues up through the spine of England, through the Yorkshire Dales and on to Kirk Yetholm on the Scottish Borders. This is a beautiful and undiscovered part of Yorkshire, the treeless Marsden and Saddleworth Moors have their own ethereal beauty. Once desolate and remote places, today they are the site of much activity, popular with walkers and cyclists, who whizz past in every direction. We wish you the warmest welcome for 2016 from all the team at Go Yorkshire!

In post war Britain there was a desperate need, among some of the less well paid public service areas unable to match wages with booming industries, for semi-skilled staff to fill the jobs that many rejected. In answer to this came Abdul Kader, who arrived in Bradford in 1957 and established Bombay Stores. Today, Bombay Stores Group serves the diverse ethnic communities in the Northwest and Northeast of England. It also caters a wider community base through its Retail and Wholesale operations as well as ecommerce all across Britain and the continental Europe. It has been described as Aladdinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cave. It is a multicultural store and always welcomes various groups including; educational visitors from schools, colleges, universities; shoppers from all walks of life; and enthusiast explorers. It offers something for everybody.

Welcome to Bradford district, a destination which is diverse and surprising where you can try something new. Where else can you enjoy two UNESCO sites and two moorlands combined with the former home of literary greats, alongside a city with a rich and varied mix of cultures and languages? Where else will the fresh air and natural beauty invigorate you; whilst the heritage and culture will fascinate you? There is no place like Bradford district as we have four unique areas which offer distinctive experiences whether you are a new visitor or returning to explore further. Come to Bradford and experience something new!

DISCOVER ILKLEY The picturesque town of Ilkley is situated in the Wharfe Valley, at the southern end of the Yorkshire Dales. The former spa town rose to fame in the nineteenth century when thousands visited for the fresh invigorating air. The town may no longer be a premier health resort but it is still renowned for its fresh air, moorland and beautiful countryside with a selection of quality accommodation. Although famous for its moor, don’t be surprised by the elegance of the town. With excellent restaurants and independent shops Ilkley is the ideal place to relax and treat yourself.

DISCOVER HAWORTH & BRONTË COUNTRY Surrounded by dramatic moorlands, Haworth is most famous for being the place which inspired the Brontë sisters to write their world famous novels. During your stay you can explore the cobbled streets and take in the romantic Brontë heritage which surrounds you. Visit The Parsonage, home to the Brontë family from 1820, the church of St Michael and All Angels and only a short walk from the village the inspirational moors which they say were the setting for Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre. However, Haworth today is also a fascinating individual village which is centred around the steep, cobbled Main Street. There are an inviting selection of individual and quirky shops scattered amongst the cafes, pubs and restaurants. Don’t miss the opportunity to explore the rest of Brontë Country, nearby East Riddlesden Hall is a perfectly formed 17th Century Manor House, and Victorian Cliffe Castle Museum is a treasure trove of exhibits. Return to Haworth on the historic Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, a popular heritage railway winding through the Worth Valley. P: 12

DISCOVER SALTAIRE Saltaire takes its name from its founder, Sir Titus Salt and the River Aire, which runs through the village. It is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and there are many reasons to visit, from architecture, to art and shopping to dining.

DISCOVER BRADFORD Bradford is proud to be the world’s first UNESCO City of Film but did you know there is also a flourishing arts scene, fascinating exhibitions and beautiful theatres. Bradford also has a rich and fascinating history, by simply walking the streets you can experience the grandeur of times gone by. Look out for: City Hall with its magnificent clock tower, admire the ornate interior of the Wool Exchange (now a Waterstones bookshop), explore the historic streets of Little Germany and find a tranquil corner at Bradford Cathedral. Come right up to date with a visit to the amazing National Media Museum, or take a stroll around the award winning City Park, with 100 fountains, laser lights, mist and water effects. For retail therapy pop into The Broadway shopping centre, opened in 2015 you will find all the high street names in sleek surroundings.

Walking round the village you will find some beautiful buildings all with their own fascinating history. Top of the list is Salts Mill, now a home to world class art, independent shopping and dining. The 1853 Gallery is home to one of the largest collections of the work of Bradford born David Hockney. Across the river is Roberts Park where you can take a stroll, watch a game of cricket or enjoy a concert on the bandstand. Don’t miss the Shipley Glen Tramway, this unique tramway operates narrowgauge ‘toastrack’ cable hauled trams on summer weekends.

For an inspiring, scenic day out, why not follow in the recent wheel tracks of the iconic Flying Scotsman and have a day out on the famous Settle-Carlisle Railway. Easily accessible by train from West Yorkshire this famous line passes through 73 miles of stunning scenery passing through some of the most beautiful and remotest parts of the Yorkshire Dales. The picturesque town of Settle is gateway to Upper Ribblesdale with dramatic scars and limestone landscape it’s great for caving, potholing and challenging walks. It also good cycling and horse riding country. This is known as ‘Three Peaks Country’, the hills of Ingleborough, Whernside and PenY-Ghent, all over 700 metres high dominate the skyline. Forming part of the Pennine range, they encircle the heads of the valleys of the River Ribble and of Chapel-le-Dale in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Pen-Y-Ghent is usually the start of the of the popular 37 and a half kilometre walk, ‘The Three Peaks Challenge’.

INTERESTING FACTS Two long distance footpaths bisect the area. The Pennine Way crosses the summit of Pen-Y-Ghent and the Ribble Way follows the River Ribble from its source at the foot of Whernside. Of course the most famous walk is the Three Peaks Walk, a thirty seven and a half kilometer circular walk taking in all three peaks. The potholes and underground network of caves attract cavers from all over the country. The famous Gaping Gill network, at Ingleborough Cave, is England’s highest unbroken waterfall plunging 110metres underground vertically down a pothole, into Britain’s second largest cavern. Ingleton is situated at the junction of two rivers, the River Twiss from Kingsdale and the River Doe from Chapel le Dale. Ingleton was mentioned in the Domesday Book and its name means “Beacon Town”, and was originally settled in the Iron Age by the Brigantes. Ingleton hosts the annual “Overground Underground Festival”. It takes place between late May and early September and is a celebration of activities which all the family can enjoy together, such as running, swimming, walking, biking and of course caving.

The people of Yorkshire rose in rebellion. William took drastic action and in a move which became known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Harrying of the Northâ&#x20AC;? his army burned all stocks of food, slaughtered all the domestic animals and destroyed all the tools. As a result many people starved to death.

Yorkshire was divided by The First English Civil War. In July 1644 the royalists were routed at the battle of Marston Moor. As a result the royalists lost all of northern England.

Henry VIII closed the smaller monasteries. This provoked a rising that began in Lincolnshire and spread to Yorkshire. It was known as the Pilgrimage of Grace.

Robert the Bruce plundered Northallerton, Boroughbridge, Ripon and Scarborough. Ripon Abbey was spared, for a blackmail.

Famine struck partly because of the climate worsening.

Hull was severely bombed in the Second World War. One of the worst attacks was in May and resulted in 400 deaths.

Ryedale Folk Museum officially opened although there was a concentration of activity in the late 1960s and early 1970s, especially with the moving of the Tudor Manor House from the nearby village of Harome.

In the early hours of Monday 9th July 1984 a bolt of lightning struck the medieval York Minster Cathedral causing a catastrophic fire.

Yorkshire won more Olympic medals than Australia

Tour de France comes to Yorkshire and inspired the Tour de Yorkshire which now takes place every year.

KIRKGATE, LEEDS

One of the largest indoor markets in Europe, Kirkgate is a shopper’s paradise - from fresh food, drink and fashion to jewellery, flowers, hardware and haberdashery.

PUDSEY

A Victorian market town, Pudsey’s market is the most traditional of the local markets serving a loyal customer base from the local community for generations. This small but perfectly formed market has everything you would expect to find and more.

Further along the coast is Staithes, another beautiful village of tumbling cottages which makes a pleasant stop for a pub lunch.

CLIMB THE HIGHEST PEAK Roseberry Topping is the famous conical peak situated at the most easterly point of the Cleveland Hills. On Christmas Day it is traditional for local people to climb to the top of the peak which is a very sociable event as many walkers carry a hip flask!

If you fancy a quick break further afield, what better place to visit than beautiful, historic York. Here are just a few suggestions to help you make the most of your time .... DAY ONE: EVENING After dropping your bags off at your hotel, get the mood of the city with a guided Ghost Walk. It is an entertaining way to learn about York’s colourful past. Afterwards dine at one of York’s many restaurants.

DAY TWO: MORNING Enjoy a hearty breakfast then set off to explore the city. Don’t forget to pick up a copy of our Go Yorkshire Mini Guide (your accommodation provider should have some) before you leave, so you can make use of the discount vouchers inside. Catch a City Sightseeing Tour Bus, an informative and interesting way to get your bearings in a new city, with the option of stopping off at the main attractions en route. After the tour alight at the Minster and explore this magnificent cathedral. Climb the 275 steps up the tower to work off your breakfast and for the magnificent panoramic view.

LUNCH If the weather, is fine take a picnic in the beautiful Dean’s Garden – a little green oasis of calm situated behind the Minster. Alternatively treat yourself at one of the many fine cafes situated nearby.

York is an archaeologist’s dream. It contains one the very few ‘wet sites’ in Britain, where organic materials such as leather and wood survive.

National Railway Museum

P: 32

www.goyorkshire.com | West & South Yorkshire - A Short Break in York

“The International Ghost Research Foundation announced that York was officially the most haunted city in Europe

AFTERNOON

After lunch, spend the afternoon exploring the Shambles, which boasts one of the largest and finest selections of independent shops in Europe. Wander around Newgate Market, where you can pick up local food and other interesting goods, each day. Chocolate lovers will enjoy visiting York’s Chocolate Story which is situated nearby in Kings Square and has a excellent cafe.

York’s Chocolate Story

For those loving all things aeronautical, visit the Yorkshire Air Museum which is also home to the Allied Air Forces Memorial and the largest independent aviation museum in the UK. Their restoration workshops and displays make it an excellent trip out.

EVENING With theatres, nightclubs, bars and cafes there is plenty going on in and around the city to enjoy in the evening. A relaxing dinner and floodlit river cruise on Yorkboat is another great way to unwind after a busy day. York Theatre Royal’s new season opens in April and has a programme of fabulous plays running throughout the summer and autumn, and has a popular cocktail bar too!

DAY TWO: MORNING No visit to York would be complete without taking up the challenge of walking the city walls. At over 3.5 kilometres long they are the most complete walls of any medieval city in England. Log on to the Friends of York City Walls at www.yorkwalls.org.uk, to download their excellent factual information. Located on the city walls at Monkbar and Micklegate are Richard III and Henry VII’s experiences where you can find out more about the part they played in War of the The Roses. If you feel that walking the walls would be too strenuous, why not discover two of York’s hidden gems, Fairfax House, one of the finest Georgian Houses in England or The Merchant Adventurer’s Hall, a medieval gem

LUNCH For those that love a Sunday lunch Russell’s Restaurant is nearby and serves a selection of delicious roasts and vegetarian alternatives all day.

AFTERNOON Work off your lunch by climbing to the top of Clifford’s Tower, one of York’s most famous landmarks and you will be rewarded for your efforts with the amazing view. Finally a twenty minute walk will take you to the National Railway Museum which is free to enter and is a relaxing and informative way to spend the afternoon.

Ask any student, and there are certainly plenty living in this vibrant city, which is home to two universities and a teaching hospital, and they will give you a similar answer about what attracts them to the city. Sheffield is rather like a big village, it is intimate and relaxed, compact and very friendly; the city centre is where the heart is, with great shops, restaurants and bars, often hosting local groups and jazz nights. Sheffieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heritage was built on the wealth created from steel and coal, the legacy of the landowners who reaped vast riches from the mines and the hard labour of its workforce. This wealth created many of the great estates of Yorkshire and Derbyshire, including the impressive Chatsworth House, Wentworth Woodhouse, Wentworth Castle, and Nostell Priory to name but a few. Indeed the numerous grand houses in this part of the world, that now open their doors to finance their

upkeep, enable you the opportunity to marvel at the grandeur and riches of a past age. Today new industries have been attracted to the area and Sheffield is recognised as the United Kingdomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main hub for call centres and new technology industries. This has bought new wealth to Sheffield ensuring the feel good factor is not only for the young student factions. Sheffield boasts a host of entertainment venues, the largest group is run by Sheffield International Venues and one of the largest shopping centres in Europe, Meadowhall is situated just to the north of the City.

Sheffield FC is the oldest running football team in the world. Just like Real Madrid, Sheffield FC is the only other team to be awarded the FIFA Order of Merit. Established in 1857, Sheffield FC is still on the go today.

Sheffield originally took its name from a big river: the River Sheaf. It runs right through the city centre, eventually joining up with the River Don.

With so much going on, Leeds is buzzing and over the past decade the city’s architecture has been transformed with new and dynamic buildings springing up, creating new vistas and places to hang out. The once depressed canal area is now a thriving and popular place to be, full of businesses and bars and cafes where workers love to socialise in the evening. Leeds is now a fun place to discover, with five great shopping centres, four theatres and numerous clubs this is the place to be. Why not have a day of retail therapy in the “Knightsbridge of the North”. There are great shopping centres to visit as well as more specialised shops. Exploring is half the fun!
