Later in the evening, step outside to soak up the last of the sun in the private patio or take a leisurely stroll along the riverside to be soothed by the sounds of flowing water.

Rest up for another fun-filled day in Hebden Bridge. Avaelie House lies just a short walk from the town’s centre where you can visit the local stores to ease your self-catered stay or visit White Lion or Old Gate Bar and Restaurant for some well-earned traditional pub fare or celebratory drinks. The centre is also home to St George’s Square and the 500 year old pack horse bridge with the wavy steps and riverside walk and of course the ducks! There is also The Trades Club, a well established venue for touring bands, be sure to get your tickets early. There is also Picture House which is one of the last independent cinemas in the country.

There is a vibrant arts scene and throughout the year there are various festivals including arts, burlesque and folk. National Trust owned Hardcastle Crags and Gibson Mill are worth a visit, especially when the Blue Pig is open, or climb the steep cobbled road to historic Heptonstall with the ruins of a mediaeval church and the graveyard where Sylvia Plath is buried.

Continue the literary theme in Haworth, home to the Bronte sisters with the Parsonage museum and a statue immortalising the sisters and their contribution to literature. Halifax boasts the Grade I Georgian Piece Hall where hand loom weavers went to sell the “pieces” they produced, or take the kids to Eureka, the children’s interactive museum which is nearby.
