The village of Norland offers easy access to a range of charming West Yorkshire towns.Nearby Ripponden has traditional pubs and eateries, while Sowerby Bridge and Hebden Bridge—both easily reached by car—offer independent shops, walking trails and local art galleries. All 3 areas were used extensively as locations for TV series “Happy Valley”. Halifax, with its impressive Piece Hall, which hosts open air concerts, Shibden Hall (made famous in TV series “Gentleman Jack”) and historic architecture, makes for a great day out too. Whether you’re planning scenic walks, exploring local market towns, or simply taking time to unwind in tranquil surroundings, Heath Hideaway provides a restful base for your next Yorkshire break.

FYI the Piece Hall hosts a series of 20/30 concerts each year attracting 5000 people at weekends during July and August with artists such as Embrace, Billy Ocean, Simple Minds etc. Not sure if you want to include this in the description but all local hotels are full over this period so a useful marketing tool.

The Calderdale village of Ripponden is set in the rural Pennine landscape, three miles from Sowerby Bridge, in the Ryburn Valley. The village is made up of traditional stone-built cottages, and a small high street with shops, cafes, an award-winning restaurant, takeaways, several excellent pubs serving food and real ale, and a local supermarket, with the River Ryburn flowing gently through the centre. Located at the heart of the Industrial Revolution, pretty old weaving villages are found in the surrounding hills. The area is also of archaeological note for its Roman road, Neolithic and Bronze Age remains. Upon Rishworth Moor, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and home to many rare animals, can be found the Cat Stones, a series of ancient round barrow burial sites. Ripponden village is also noted for the annual Rushbearing Festival each Autumn, featuring dance troupes including Morris Dancers from all over the country. Nearby is Hebden Bridge, a diverse, bohemian town home to restaurants, bars, bistros, markets, an independent cinema, art galleries, and the Rochdale Canal. A scenic car ride over the moors takes you to the Parsonage Museum which commemorates the famous Bronte family. A short drive in the opposite direction takes you to the heart of ‘Last of the Summer Wine’ country. Numerous listed buildings and National Trust properties are close by. The Haworth area is also a must for steam railway enthusiasts who will enjoy the thriving Worth Valley Railway.
