Salts Mill

Leeds & West Yorkshire

Folkshire Pick

A Victorian mill turned gallery, bookshop and very good lunch.

Why go?

Saltaire's mill holds a large Hockney collection, a bookshop worth an hour on its own and diner-style food, all inside a World Heritage model village.

Folkshire says

Free to enter, hard to leave. Walk the canal afterwards.
