Cliffe Castle Museum

Originally the spectacular mansion of the local Victorian millionaire and textile manufacturer, H I Butterfield, Cliffe Castle Museum stands in attractive hillside grounds of Keighley with greenhouses, garden centre, aviaries and a children's play area.

The house is now a large museum with a wide variety of displays. These include an array of glittering minerals, local rocks and fossils (including a 2m long fossil newt!), mounted birds and animals, original furnished rooms with chandeliers, William Morris stained glass, old dolls, toys and domestic items and a programme of temporary exhibitions.

Learning activities and events take place throughout the year in the InSight room. Groups of all kinds can be catered for, from schools to senior citizens, and activities can be tailored to your needs.
