Visiting Hebden Bridge and Haworth & Exploring Yorkshire & the Yorkshire Dales

Picturesque Hebden Bridge is a hub of creativity, renowned for its quirky independent shops, lively markets, friendly cafes and pubs. With its rich textile heritage and double-decker terraces clinging to the hillsides, Hebden is a buzzing little town nestling in the Upper Calder Valley, crisscrossed by rivers and canals.

The beautiful National Trust estate of Hardcastle Crags is literally on the doorstep with over 20 miles of footpaths through bluebell woods and river gorges with waterfalls. On the opposite hilltop is the ancient village of Heptonstall with its ruined 13th century chapel and cobbled street lined with handloom weavers’ cottages.

Set in one of the hilliest parts of Yorkshire, with stone-paved packhorse trails through some of Yorkshire’s loveliest dales, this is the landscape that inspired the Brontës and local poet Ted Hughes. A walker’s paradise crisscrossed by the Pennine Way, with steep-sided wooded valleys, hilltop meadows and heather moors, the Upper Calder Valley is a wildlife haven with curlews, lapwings, owls and deer.

Haworth and Brontë Country are just over the hill, an invigorating hike via Crimsworth Dean or Top Withens (the inspiration for Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights). The glorious Yorkshire Dales National Park is also within easy reach, including the splendours of Wharfedale, Gordale Scar and Malham Cove.

Nearby attractions include Shibden Hall (setting for the hit TV series Gentleman Jack), the magnificent 18th century Halifax Piece Hall (as featured on Antiques Roadshow) and Eureka National Children’s Museum. Other cultural delights include Salts Mill and Saltaire Village UNESCO World Heritage Site, Keighley and Worth Valley Railway (famous from The Railway Children), the handsome spa towns of Ilkley and Harrogate, and the award-winning Hepworth Gallery and Yorkshire Sculpture Park. There are also direct trains from Hebden Bridge to the historic city of York and the vibrant Victorian cities of Leeds and Manchester.
