Hebden Bridge, a charming Pennine town in the Calderdale area, is home to the picturesque Rochdale Canal as well as a charming Victorian railway station. This beautiful area is the first town in the United Kingdom to participate in the Ramblers’ Association-backed ‘Walkers are Welcome’ initiative, and it is surrounded by excellent walking country, including the National Trust-owned Hardcastle Crags and the Pennine Way. The second stage of the Tour de France in 2014, the Tour de Yorkshire in 2015, and the Tour de Yorkshire in 2018 all passed through the area, making it ideal for scenic drives and fabulous cycling opportunities. Visit Haworth, where the magnificent Parsonage Museum honours the lives of the illustrious Bronte family. Worth Valley Railway is thriving and a must-see for steam railway enthusiasts, and the Eureka Museum is located in nearby Halifax, renowned for its Piece Hall and Victorian architecture. You can also travel seven miles to admire the stunning architecture at the Dean Clough complex. Skipton, known as the “Gateway to the Dales,” and Holmfirth, made famous by Last of the Summer Wine, are both a short, scenic drive away.
