Outdoors
Up on the hill with the moors on the doorstep, we're spoilt for walks. We're gathering the village's favourites here, each with a map and directions.
A proper little loop from the village: easy lanes and field paths out, a good drop into the valley, then a climb home you will feel in your legs. About three and a half miles, and you will have earned a slice of cake. Maybe two.
A grand half-day round from the village: out over the tops with big views, down through Thurstonland, a long drop into the Storthes Hall valley, then the climb home. Just under six miles, with a fair bit of up and down to keep you honest.
A gentle downhill stroll from the village into the valley, following lanes and field paths all the way down to the Smiths. Just over two miles out, with a good pull back up to earn your tea.
A proper cross-country ramble from the village over the tops and down into the Holme Valley, finishing on the edge of Holmfirth. Just under four miles, mostly downhill, with one good climb to start.
A gentle loop around the village lanes and nearby field paths, with long views over the valley, perfect for a Sunday stroll.
Down through the fields to the woodland below the village, returning by quiet bridleways. A lovely one for bluebell season.
A breezier walk out towards the open moor edge and back, with the wide skies and big horizons that make this corner of Yorkshire special.
