Pre-Summit walking tour

Delegates to the summit are invited to join a short walking tour of Saltaire, a UNESCO world heritage site, comprising Salt’s Mill and the ‘model village’ of Saltaire, built in the 1850s by the industrialist Sir Titus Salt. 

Please meet at Saltaire railway station at 11:15am.   We will meet the 10:56 train from Leeds to Skipton.  Saltaire can also be reached by train from Bradford, Skipton and Ilkley. 

At the end of the tour we will proceed to the hotel (1.2 miles away) by bus.  There may be an option to store your luggage at the mill before we start the walk.  It is an urban walk, but consider bringing an umbrella.
