Batley

Batley is a pretty town in West Yorkshire, England, neighbouring the cities of Bradford and Leeds. It is home to the Yorkshire Motor Museum, as well as the Bagshaw Museum, which is housed in one of the town's original "shoddy barons" and features a range of local history, natural history and international exhibits including an Ancient Egyptian exhibition.

West Yorkshire in particular is a unique part of the country to visit, with a fantastic combination of the old and the new in such close proximity. Transport links in the region are some of the best in the country due to the industrial and mining heritage of the area, making it easy to fill each day of your visit with as much, or as little, activity as you fancy, with minimal planning required in advance.

Just a few select examples of the many attractions of the West Yorkshire region include: the Brontë Parsonage Museum, Harewood House, the Middleton Railway working steam railway line, the Thackray Museum of medical history (which is a particularly popular attraction with children), The Alhambra Theatre, Bradford Cathedral, St. Leonards Farm Park, Pontefract Castle, and the Lightwater Valley Theme Park & Zoo.

Batley itself is a moderately sized town with ample amenities, shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as a choice of quality accommodation, making the town an ideal vantage point from which to explore the attractions and countryside of West Yorkshire.
