Beyond the Valley
Haworth
A visit to Haworth is a must when holidaying in Hewenden – The
Bronte Parsonage offers a wonderful insight into the lives of the
extraordinary Bronte sisters. The cobbled main street, so evocative
of a bygone era, is lined on both sides with apothecaries, antique
shops, cafés and second hand bookshops.
Worth Valley Railway
Take a nostalgic trip on one of the steam trains that run regularly
along the Worth Valley - a perfect way to get into the heart of the
rugged Bronte countryside (without getting your feet muddy!).
Saltaire
Recently recognised as a "World Heritage Site", Saltaire is a
perfect day trip destination. Salts Mill is a must - browse around
the bookshop, visit the David Hockney gallery, do a spot of shopping
in the very trendy and expensive "Home", and finish with lunch in Salts
Diner – all under one roof!
The Dales
The lovely market town of Skipton, otherwise known as the "gateway
to the Dales", is about a 20 minute drive from Hewenden. Well worth
a visit in its own right, the castle, cobbled streets and canal trips
make for a fun family day out. Moving out of Skipton, the great
Yorkshire Dales beckon for wonderful walks and fabulous pub food.
Leeds
The cultural capital of the North - Leeds has everything you need
for a great day (or night) out! Fabulous shops, cafés and restaurants,
a vibrant and exciting nightlife and the brilliant Royal Armouries
museum - quite literally something for everyone.
Harrogate
The Spa town of Harrogate has a long and wealthy history. Exclusive
antique shops and designer boutiques add up to a lovely afternoon
window shopping. The RHS gardens at nearby Harlow Carr are well
worth a visit – especially since Bettys opened a rather wonderful
tea-room on site!
York
York Minster, the Jorvik museum, the Shambles, the National Railway
Museum – York is an amazing city in every respect – something for
everyone – history, culture, superb shopping, wonderful architecture
and some very indulgent eating establishments.
Well worth the journey!
