Description:

Charity formed to preserve a cable hauled Tramway that was first opened in 1895 - we give passenger rides on a 350m twin 20" track with a tram carriage on each track.

At Shipley Glen Tramway, obviously, a ride on the tram is a 'must do'! Your journey starts at either the upper station (Prod Lane) or the lower station (Roberts Park end). The upper station is where there is an 'olde-world shoppe' selling sweets and confectionary items.

The ride travels through the beautifully scenic woods down the glen. The bottom is where the Information Centre is. Here you can see some of the history of the tramway. You are then just across the road from Roberts Park (Saltaire) with pleasant walks through the gardens to the River Aire and various picnic areas.

We are a charity and our volunteers are totally unpaid - please treat them and other visitors with respect and kindness.

We welcome all our visitors, children and pets (including dogs). We do ask that all act responsibly and with courtesy to all.
