Shipley Glen itself might really just be some impressive rocks and a bit of a view, but there’s so much more waiting for you at the top of the hill.

For a start, there’s the tramride, which is brief, but the tramway is over 100 years old, so you can spend the couple of minutes’ journey revelling in its history.

Then, when you get to the top, there’s a gastro pub, a cafe, a wildlife centre AND some impressive rocks and a bit of a view.
