Saltaire
Designed to provide factory workers with a high standard of living, this UNESCO-listed town proves Industrialism wasn’t all grit and grime.
About
Saltaire was founded by Sir Titus Salt along the River Aire, hence Salt+Aire (aha!), in 1851. The pinnacle of the Victorian philanthropic paternalist ideal, Salt’s industrial town provided his factory workers luxuries like backyards, bathrooms, and bathhouses in a grid of elegant Victorian townhouses, which would influence the ‘garden city’ movement. In order to keep his town tidy, Salt even banned washing lines and required all employees take two-baths-a-week. The result of having clean, happy, and cared for workers? Increased factory profits. Today, the elegant architecture and open spaces make the town a delight for visitors to explore, with the old mill standing as the unmissable monument. Once the largest factory in the world, the mill was purchased by Jonathan Silver in 1986, who partnered with renowned artist David Hockney to convert the space into a giant art gallery and shopping emporium. Now, visitors are treated to not just fine shops, but one of the world’s largest David Hockney exhibitions.

Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.
All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.
For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.
