Shipley Glen

Rocky outcrops above wooded valley

Fringed by rocky outcrops (pictured above) Shipley Glen is a deep wooded valley and local beauty spot which lies below Baildon Moor on the outskirts of the city of Bradford.

Being frequented by textile workers from the nearby village of Saltaire, Shipley Glen developed in to a Victorian tourist attraction, with the famous Prod Lane funfairs and rides served by the Shipley Glen Tramway - a funicular railway which remains in operation to this day.

Above the glen is Glen Road, and the Bracken Hall visitor information centre.
