A few reasons why you might enjoy a visit to Hebden Bridge...

'Glastonbury of the North', Hebden Bridge has been dubbed;
'Fourth funkiest town in the World'; and
'One of the best places in the UK for quirky, independent local shops'.
There's a vibrant music, arts and alternative scene;
an Alt Tech Centre, lots of eco activities;
plus one of the densest networks of footpaths in the country.
Protected by the National Trust, Hardcastle Crags is an outdoor wonderland.
If you've never been to Hebden Bridge it's in West Yorkshire;
you'll find it on the Leeds-Manchester trainline;
it's at the tail-end of the Pennines;
has double-decker houses and a fascinating industrial heritage,
an abundance of waterways, old mills and wooded valleys.
The canal is thriving with colourful narrowboats & towpath pubs;
the hills are steep, there are still cobbled streets; the moors of the Brontes are close by
and high above Hebden lies Sylvia Plath's grave.
Flowing through the centre of town is the river over which the Packhorse Bridge passes.
There's an independent Picture House, organic cafes, weekly and monthly flea and farmers' markets;
a town square with buskers, real ale pubs, a wine bar, a milk bar, fairtrade goods and handicrafts.
We're a thriving Transition Town.
