Visit Bradford; City of Film

Bradford is a city full of surprises. Recently titled a UNESCO City of Film, Bradford is a thriving cultural destination with a packed events calendar, award-winning museums, galleries and impressive theatres.

The latest addition to Bradford city centre is the City Park, Bradford's brilliant new high-tech water feature which features the mirror pool and beautiful ever changing high tech fountains. There are several restaurants and pubs near the park as well as the National Media Museum and Impressions Gallery.

The many beautiful Victorian buildings found throughout the city illustrate the city's impressive history and include the area known as Little Germany and the Wool Exchange. Other heritage attractions not to be missed is Bradford Cathedral the city's place of worship for centuries.

The surrounding area of Bradford also has a lot to offer. Visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site Saltaire, a perfectly preserved Victorian village and home to Salts Mill and the village of Haworth, the former home of the Brontës and the Brontë Parsonage Museum.
