Going on a Walk
Leading a Walk
South Pennines: Haworth to Hebden Bridge
Sunday 23 May 2010
- Start Time:
- 9:45 AM
- Description:
- Haworth, and the surrounding moorland, is almost synonymous with the Brontės. On this walk, we'll start in Haworth, travel (either by bus or by car, depending on numbers) to Hebden Bridge, and then walk back. On the walk back we'll walk through Hebden Dale; during the industrial revolution this was a centre for cotton-making, but has since returned to woodland and the only surviving mill is now a (rather nice) cafe. Then we'll head up onto Wadsworth Moor and the Pennine Way to Top Withins - a ruined farmhouse, the location of which is often thought to have inspired Wuthering Heights - before returning to Haworth in time to sample its eclectic mix of shops and cafes.
