Lovely activity to do. Short ride but so much fun. Staff lovely, informative, friendly and amazing selection of sweets in the top tram shop Well worth the £3 return.
I stayed in Saltire for a lovely long weekend with some family. I used to visit every Sunday just over 20 years ago with my Grandparents, and now when I get chance to return to this lovely tramway with my daughter, I can enjoy and reminisce about all of my happy memories of the walks, the tram, the sweet shop and the long gone Victorian funfair. The prices have always remained fair and the staff are just the friendliest bunch. A little bit of joy, give this place a visit! :-)
A hidden little gem in West Yorkshire! 🚋✨ Shipley Glen Tramway is such a unique and nostalgic experience. The tramway itself is full of charm and history, and the short ride up and down the glen is both relaxing and fun for all ages. The staff and volunteers are friendly and clearly passionate about keeping this piece of history alive. The surrounding area is beautiful too, perfect for a walk, picnic, or family day out. It may be a short journey, but it’s definitely worth visiting for the experience and the lovely atmosphere. Great value for money and something a little different to do in the area. Highly recommend if you enjoy heritage attractions or just fancy a trip down memory lane! 🌿
This is our country at its best. Volunteers running a beautiful tramway for the pleasure and enjoyment of others. It’s not brash, expensive, commercial. It is a small friendly enterprise that I am sure gives huge pleasure to many people. I loved it. It was a few minutes each way of the joy of nature and the bluntest running it were super lovely.
This was a fantastic attraction to ride, with cheap journey tickets and staff readily available to buy them! The tram is pulled up a glorious route driverless through the trees which has Christmas lights during winter, accompanied by decorations like a vintage wheelbarrow on the platforms. Last station has a mini exhibition showing the history of the tramway that was interesting, even shown with an old sign as the Tram Stop!
