Visit Saltaire - A UNESCO World Heritage Site
Saltaire in West Yorkshire is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with the History of Saltaire now preserved for years to come.
Saltaire Village is the product of Sir Titus Salt who basically built the houses, halls, church and pretty much the whole village so his workers at his mill, Salts Mill, could live nearby and have pretty much everything they needed here.
This has left us now with an area of beauty and interest for all to see, enjoy and and for some of us to photograph as well.
For Photographers, The area has its natural beauty along with some impressive building then add into that some great unique events to photograph too, its one of the places in West Yorkshire to photograph, you'll want to come back again and again with your camera whether its an iphone camera or your professional DSLR Cameras.

The Mill was built at the side of the Leeds Liverpool canal as the waterways were the motorways of today for transporting goods, with the River Aire running along side the canal too, this gives the area a natural wonder here with the ever popular with locals and no so locals wonderful Roberts Park set on the other side of these 2 waterways across from Salts Mill it all adds to the beauty of the area.
The mill workers homes which vary in size, even though often they are quite small, are now sort after places to live in with Saltaire being in such a great location with some beautiful surroundings and a very handy train station with direct links to Leeds, Bradford, Keighley, Skipton.

Salts Mill is now home to a variety of businesses and interests from the Salts Gallery, A very Large Book Shop, A Flea Market, Restaurant and numerous other shops and business so it is well worth a visit.
The United Reformed Church is another impressive building here in its own large grounds and is open for services with frequent weddings taking place here especially in the summer months.
There's a number of restaurants and smaller cafe bars to eat and have a drink at, in the busier summer months you may need to make your bookings early rather than just turn up on the day.
