In the heart of beautiful Yorkshire UN DE RG RADUAT E PROSPECTUS WHY CHOOSE BRADFORD? Bradford lies at the heart of some of the most stunning and dramatic scenery anywhere in the UK, with miles and miles of unspoilt countryside to explore just a short bus or train ride away. Situated on the edge of the Pennines, the City of Bradford district borders the Yorkshire Dales National Park and features popular tourist attractions such as Brontë Country, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Saltaire, and the famous Ilkley Moor. The city’s central UK location and excellent transport links (see ‘Getting Here’, page 241) mean even more attractions lie slightly further afield, including the cities of Leeds and Manchester, the beautiful Yorkshire coastline and the Peak District, Lake District and North Yorkshire Moors National Parks. 2014 saw the 1st and 2nd stages of the famous Tour de France passing through West Yorkshire, putting the region firmly on the international map. 2016 BRADF B56 25
