Trains to Keighley

Let's start with the train. Keighley and Worth Valley Railway allows you to step back in time and enjoy a 4.5 mile steam engine ride with six fascinating station stops along the way. This includes Oakworth where The Railway Children was filmed in 1970.

And while in Keighley, you really do need to visit the world of the literary Brontë sisters. Their house in nearby Haworth has become a place of pilgrimage for those who loved the stories of Heathcliff and Jane Eyre. Everything looks as it did back in the 18th century, and you can easily picture the sisters scribbling away in the study. There's a superb restaurant attached as well.

Keep the culture coming at Cliffe Castle Museum, for a great day out for all the family. Wander round the fascinating exhibitions, play in the park or grab the chance to see some beekeeping up close.

Why not end the day with a film at the spectacular Picture House cinema? You can watch modern movies in authentic 1913 surroundings, giving you a taste of what a night out was like before the age of multiplexes. It's just another gem in Keighley's charming crown.

The Lord Rodney is the perfect place to pick up something delicious and a pint of the local Timothy Taylor's beer. It manages to combine the feel of a traditional Yorkshire pub with the vibrancy of a modern watering hole.

Head along to the Lemon Tree Cafe and Bistro for a great combination of Mexican, Spanish and Greek food that can form the basis of a quick lunch or slightly more indulgent dinner. There are plenty of options for vegetarians as well.

If you're looking for authentic Tuscan food in the heart of Keighley, then look no further than Ponte Vecchio where you can enjoy all your Italian favourites in relaxed surroundings with very attentive waiting staff.

The Old Registry is a great choice for couples. The intimate atmosphere is matched by delicious food, using local produce in many dishes. There's also accommodation available if you fancy a longer stay.
