STUDENT ACCOMMODATION
Bolton Abbey
A walk around Bolton Abbey is
popular among Bradfordians.
The breathtaking ruins of the
12th century priory lie in plush
green meadows alongside
the River Wharfe. Have a go
crossing the stepping-stones
on the river – be careful not to
fall in! Then hike onwards to the
Valley of Desolation and enjoy
the views from Simon’s Seat.
Malham Cove
At the boundary of Bradford’s
postcode lies the Yorkshire
Dales. Malham Cove is a great
day out for walkers and hikers.
Get a selfie against the 70 ft
limestone cliff and waterfall and
then proceed to climb your way
up to the top and walk across
the limestone formation where
Harry Potter set up camp in
the film Harry Potter and the
Deathly Hallows.
Saltaire
This quaint Victorian milling
village is a UNESCO World
Heritage Site. Explore the high
street with its boutiques, tea
rooms, bistros and independent
shops, visit Salts Mill, the
textiles factory that has been
converted into a museum, art
gallery and bookshop, or take
a walk along the Leeds and
Liverpool Canal. Make sure
you have an ice cream from
the famous Ice Cream Boat
moored at Roberts Park.
If you’re leaving home for the first time or are
new to Bradford, you’ll probably want to live in

with other students; you will live in a
supportive and vibrant community with
staff available onsite.

the beautiful market town of Grassington.
Explore the pubs, restaurants and art and
gift shops, or venture into the surrounding

the rushing water becks and limestone.
Haworth
Nestled in the Penines is the wonderful village of Haworth,
once home to the Bronte sisters. Their family home is now
called The Bronte Parsonage Museum. The famous cobbled
main street leading to the Parsonage is lined with antique
shops, galleries, cafes and independent retailers. Haworth
is also a popular filming spot. Peaky Blinders, The Railway
Children, Emily and Jane Eyre were all filmed there.
