What to see and do here

Obviously, a ride on the tram is a 'must do'!
Your journey starts at either the upper station (Prod Lane) or the lower station (Roberts Park end. The upper station is where there is an 'olde-world shoppe' selling sweets and confectionary items.
The ride travels through the beautifully scenic woods down the glen. The bottom is where the information Centre is. Here you can see some of the history of the tramway.
You are then just across the road from Roberts Park (Saltaire) with pleasant walks through the gardens to the River Aire and various picnic areas.
Going further, and over the Leeds-Liverpool Canal is the world renowned Salts Mill with shops, cafes and more - all well worth a visit!
Parking is available at Titus school during weekends and holidays.
