Where to stay in Little Horton
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Great Horton Road is the axis for anyone staying out this way, and the ward behind it is housing, chapels and the odd listed frontage rather than a hotel strip. Bradford's centre is the practical answer. A room there puts Little Horton within a short ride, along with Stanford House and the Moravian church that give the ward much of its character. Beds inside the ward are rare.

The name comes from a family. Little Horton takes it from the de Horton family, once Lords of the Manor, and the ward now sits inside the City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council in the county of West Yorkshire.
