When walking always check out our local weather forecast; but remember we are in a steep sided valley with its own micro-climate, so we are sometimes subject to surprising local variations to general predictions. Hebden Bridge is not Cragg Vale - honestly! There are many lovely walks around the valley and on the moors above.

As usual the advice is never to go walking across the moors unless you are properly equipped with a map, compass and whistle and stout walking shoes or boots, plus weatherproof clothing suited to the season. Our local Tourist Information Centre in Hebden Bridge will supply local guides and maps detailing the many local walks and rambles in our beautiful countryside.

“Walking and horse riding are both popular around Cragg, and the Pennine Way and Calderdale Way cross here.”

We encourage you to share the beauty of our local environment. However, please remember that we are still largely a farming community, and the principle livestock are sheep. Dogs must be kept on a leash and under control whenever you are crossing farmed land, or the open moors where sheep are likely to be grazing. Animals that are off a leash and out of control, and thereby threatening livestock welfare, are liable to be shot. Simply follow The Country Code at all times and you can enjoy our countryside with total impunity.
