THINGS TO DO

Wander the creative, bohemian streets of Hebden Bridge, tucked tightly into the fold of a steep-sided valley, and you can feel the influence of the writers and artists who flocked to the town around the 1970s and 1980s. With a substantial gay community and over 100 artists calling Hebden Bridge home, no wonder it’s been called Yorkshire's funkiest small town.  From artisan shops and inspiring galleries, organic pavement cafés and pubs serving local craft ales and specialty gins, to every kind of dining experience you could want and the beautifully restored art deco cinema, the town is justifiably proud of its non-conformist roots and artistic identity.
 
Just a few minutes away, there is stunning countryside to explore with the National Trust’s Hardcastle Crags 
and the wild beauty of the moors above. Now part of the Pennine Way with the Hebden Bridge Loop, walkers are spoilt for choice in this beautiful part of the world.
 
The historic village of Heptonstall, nestled in the hills above Hebden Bridge, has steep cobbled streets, weavers' cottages, real ale pubs and churches. The graveyard goes back to the 15th and 16th centuries and holds the remains of 100,000 people, including the poet Sylvia Plath. 
 
Hebden Bridge can be steep, and cobbled streets can be tricky. The Disability Access Forum (HBDAF) has published a map of accessible routes around the centre, showing wheelchair friendly pavements, accessible toilets, bus stops and parking spaces. You can view this map here.
