Hebden Bridge is a large Pennine village (or perhaps a small town ?) just over the moors to the south of Haworth in the heart of West Yorkshire's Bronte Country.
Local attractions include deep wooded glens such as at Hardcastle Crags. Above these valleys lie the wild windswept moors which inspired the Brontes and for which this area of the Pennines is famous.
Nearby are the Pennine towns of Sowerby Bridge and Halifax, (both of which have connections with the Brontes), and also Mytholmroyd (famous as the birthplace of the poet Ted Hughes).
The Pennine Way long distance footpath also passes near Hebden Bridge - en route from its starting point at Edale in the Derbyshire Peak District to Kirk Yetholm in Scotland, a trek of about 250 miles.
