One of a whole bunch of industrial sites in the UK, Saltaire has the advantage of being just a 15-minute train ride from Leeds, and the station is right in the middle of the village. It is a pleasant place for a walk and some shopping, with a pretty church, a nice park along a small river, and a handful of historic buildings. I did not have a bad visit, it was just not very exciting - nice to do if you are in the area, but nothing really special. Probably worth the inscription because of its historic value, but today, the visitor experience is not so great (unless you happen to be a fan of local boy David Hockney, many of whose paintings are exhibited in the main building called Salt's Mill, which used to be the main textile mill and is now a combination of shopping mall, art gallery, and restaurant).
