More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the train into Bradford’s hum—brick terraces, canal water glinting, and a patchwork of Victorian facades daring you to look closer. The phone buzzes; a map blooms with pins. This is a city that rewards wandering: courtyards with carved stone, murals tucked down alleys, and canal towpaths that push you out of the bustle and toward quieter views.
