Welcome to Cottingley

Cottingley is a small village located in West Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 3 miles south of the city of Bradford and is known for its picturesque scenery and historical landmarks. The village is home to the famous Cottingley Fairies, which were a series of photographs taken by two young girls in 1917 that purported to show fairies in their garden. The photographs were later revealed to be a hoax, but they remain a popular tourist attraction in the village.

Cottingley is also home to several notable landmarks, including the Cottingley Hall Estate, which dates back to the 16th century. The estate was once owned by the Ferrand family, who were prominent landowners in the area. Today, the estate is a popular wedding venue and is known for its beautiful gardens and stunning architecture. Other notable landmarks in the village include the St. Michael and All Angels Church, which dates back to the 12th century, and the Cottingley Bridge, which spans the River Aire.

Despite its small size, Cottingley has a strong sense of community and is home to several local businesses and amenities. The village has a primary school, a post office, and several shops and pubs. It also has a thriving sports scene, with several local teams and clubs for football, cricket, and other sports. Overall, Cottingley is a charming and historic village that offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of nearby cities.
