If you've visited Site of the Week would you recommend as a great day out in the area? How about the superb walking routes in Hardcastle Crags woodland beside Hebden Water?

    It's a lovely site in a beautiful part of the world. Hard to imagine Hebden Bridge itself gets flooded 

    ..... note that there's no toilet/shower block

    Lovely site. 

    We used the site as a base to visit Haworth for the Bronte house. Another historic spot ticked off my bucket list.

    Is it any good for motorhomers who want to leave their vans on site? Is Hebden Bridge walkable?

    It's walkable but it's a good couple of miles away.  There's a train station in Mytholmroyd I believe

     According to Bing Maps it's 2.5 miles to Hebden Bridge - coming back the hill is quite steep! 

    Another vote for the Bronte House. 

    Its not the most dog friendly place on that site - its a walk to get to a good spot for the necessary!  Although I did see people not leaving the site for their dogs and not picking up!

    Are there footpaths? Is the road a busy one?

    Quite happy to walk but want it as a safe walk 😉.

    You're asking me about walking?  surprised 

    I believe there's a safe route along the canal but I honestly wouldn't be the person to ask.  The main road is pretty busy but I saw plenty walking along it. 

    I only walk miles round towns not to them winklaughing

    Why is it site of the week? It is a nice little site but 2.5 miles walk into Hebden Bridge.

    B2, there's a decent pavement outside of the gate and about 400m down the hill there's a lane which you can use to get off the road. There are then footpaths from there, all the way up to Stoodley Pike and the Pennine way. All you need is the OS map and the will to climb to the monument!!wink

    Thanks Nellie most helpful, as usual, I can add it to our list.

    This is the sort of really useful, honest information, that is often lacking on site descriptions. As someone says its 2.5 miles to Hebden Bridge, that's usually noted but not in the main description.

    There are two ways to walk to the monument. The easy-ish way & a harder more direct way cool

    Yes you could walk from the site on the pavement to the canal and then up to Hebden Bridge.  We cycled it and was very nice.  If you keep of canal just to the other side of the town there is a nice pub which is on the canal one side and the river the other.  You can also do a canal trip from here.  We also cycled down the hill to the train station and took our bikes on the train up to Todmorden and went to the market and then cycled back on the canal.  We were also going to do this in the other direction to Halifax but ran out of time?
