A BRADFORD district village has been named amongst the best in Britain.

Saltaire features in The Telegraph's Britain's 30 Greatest Villages.

The list was compiled by experts across Britain, revealing their favourite "unspoilt village".

Saltaire, which became a Unesco World Heritage Site in 2001, was called an "outstanding example of a model village".

Salts Mill, home to a huge collection of work by Bradford artist David Hockney, is also mentioned.

The experts recommend a two-night stay in a "cosy Saltaire terrace" that has two double rooms, sleeping six, available from around £300.

Salts Diner is suggested for a bite to eat with its "excellent salads, burgers, and hand-stretched pizzas".

They also point to combining a visit to Saltaire with a walk into Bradford via Lister Park.

Earlier this year, the village was one of 72 locations to feature in the annual Sunday Times Best Places to Live guide for 2024.

All the places now charging entry fees – and those that could be next
The bright lights and clanging amusements of Brighton Pier will soon come at a price. From May 25, the seaside landmark will impose a £1 entry fee. These will help tackle maintenance costs, which the owners say have risen by a third in the last five years. The attraction, built at the very end of the Victorian period, has long been the premier spot for day-trippers to find fish and chips and fairground rides, but – for now at least – its future depends on ticket revenue.
