Vintage Carriages Trust Museum of Rail Travel

Open 11.00 Last admission 16.00. Please wrap up warm if visiting in winter. We are a small volunteer-run museum, so sorry - we don't have a cafe. We are located approx 400 ft after the totally separate Ingrow Loco Museum. We are close to the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway.You don't have to be a railway enthusiast to enjoy our museum! Over 60 television programmes and films have featured carriages from our museum. Watch the videos. Listen to the sound presentations as you sit inside the carriages. See the differences between 1st, 2nd and 3rd class. Signs, posters and small exhibits.

I am not a locomotive enthusiast but being a little older (51) I found it interesting to compare things here to what I remember from when I was little and my nana used to arrive by train in Sydney from Melbourne. I will make an effort to go back while I'm in the area and will be happy to pay the small entry fee again. I particularly loved the visual and audio recordings depicting early train travel.

Reviewed By Crispinhj - Skipton, United Kingdom

We come to Haworth a lot, since we moved here a couple of years ago almost every visitor wants us to take them here - usually on the KWVR heritage railway much to my wife's disappointment! This is one of th eplaces we nearly always go to but it's a risky business as there are so many lovely things that it's hard to go out of the shop without spending more than you intended. Artists from the local area or further afield are represented and there is everything, prints, paintings, sculptures and ceramics. Nobody should visit Haworth without calling in

I love treating myself to a 90 min Thai hot oil deep tissue massage with Pakapant! She is extremely professional and friendly, always providing an excellent, high quality massage to alleviate tension, stress as well as reduce pain in any troublesome areas (such as shoulders and lower back from working at a desk all day!).

East Riddlesden Hall, National Trust

Imagine stepping 400 years back in time into the home of a 17th-century cloth merchant. See the changes that he made and discover why these were sadly never completed. Take a step away from the hectic everyday and experience the tranquillity that is East Riddlesden Hall. In contrast to the atmospheric exterior, this friendly house is brought to life through stories told by room guide volunteers. The house is home to a wonderful array of seventeenth century needlework and original exquisite plasterwork ceilings created by local craftsmen.
