Cottingley is a desirable residential neighbourhood. Situated between Saltaire and Bingley and therefore it has fantastic road links to both towns and the motorway network beyond. In the catchment area for several popular schools, this area is consistently popular with families in particular as well as with young professionals and retirees to name but a few. Ready access to the Aire Valley trunk road means that the Yorkshire Dales National Park, the stunning Pennine countryside around Haworth, and beautiful Wharfedale are all within comfortable driving distance. Made famous in the 1920’s due to the ‘Cottingley Fairies’ photographs, why not come and see if you spot any fairies lurking today?
