Overview

A Linear walk from Haworth to Hebden Bridge, walking along the Bronte Way, Pennine Way together with other well marked footpaths. The majority of this walk will be along moorland although it will feature a woodland/riverside section. There is also a short section walking along the road where we will need to be careful. The walk features several points of interest including Top Withens for any Bronte enthusiasts! We'll stop at the Pack Horse Inn and Gibsons Mill en route for refreshments/toilet stops. Although we'll stop at the pub, please bring a packup for lunch on the moors. As some of the paths could be muddy, walking boots are recommended. We'll walk at an average pace but will need to be mindful of the time for getting to Hebden Bridge.  Although this walk is generally pretty flat, there are a number of steep ascents.  At the end of the walk we'll need to get the Bronte Bus (B3) back to Haworth. It takes about 30 minutes.

There will be 12 places available.  Sorry no dogs allowed as we will be passing through a field with animals in.
