A linear walk from Halifax to Hebden Bridge visiting Halifax Minster, built during the 15th century.
We then join the Hebble Trail. A sometimes-sinister path through Halifax's industrial underbelly.
Eventually we emerge into calming woodland, before strolling down the Calder Hebble Narrow Canal which leads on to the Rochdale Canal for a gentle walk through to Hebden Bridge.
