Hardcastle Crag

Hardcastle Crag

If you are ever in the quaint town of Hebden Bridge, set in the Calder Valley in West Yorkshire, then a trip to Gibson Mill and Hardcastle Crag is a must! 

For more information and directions check the National Trust Website here - National Trust - Hardcastle Crags.

Park in the car park (Pay and Display - except National Trust Members) at Midgehole Road, and take the steady 20 minute walk up to Gibson Mill, (or follow one of the woodland trails!) 

Once at the Mill, cross the small footbridge on the left then turn right, there the waterfall cascades in several drops down from Heptonstall Moor. 

Go between the buildings and cross the small footbridge

Just to the north of the Pennine town of Hebden Bridge, past the hamlet of Pecket Well, deep in the valley, lies Lumb Falls. Easy to reach by car but a steep walk down the cobbled path to the falls themselves.Take care in the wet! 

 Drive through Pecket Well and take the lane on the left (Old Road), drive for approx 900m to the layby. There is a sign post at the road side. 

Once at the bottom, cross the old Pack Horse bridge. The base of the falls can be reached - with care - when wet.
