Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

We are situated in the South Pennines in Yorkshire, in an historic house with period features and open fires (plus central heating and gas fire) in a beautiful semi-rural setting with walks in woods, on moors and in valleys by rivers on our doorstep. There are four bedrooms (3 doubles, one twin), a garden and parking on a drive. While we have rural views, we are just 0.5 miles from a railway station, with trains to Leeds and Manchester (about 45 mins) and from these stations trains to London (2 hrs 40 mins), Liverpool (just over an hour) and York. The pretty and quaint Pennine town of Hebden Bridge is a mile away (tourist destination) and Haworth, home of the Brontes, is about 20 mins away on a scenic drive over the moors (and bus).

Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

This is a great area for hill walking, with miles of public footpaths and the National Trust river valley and woods of Hardcastle Crags on the outskirts of Hebden Bridge, a quaint and attractive little town (1 mile away). The Yorkshire Dales are less than one hour away and the Lake District is about two hrs away. There are lots of country pubs around, with cafes and restaurants in Hebden, which also has a great music venue (The Trades Club), a theatre and old-fashioned independent cinema. The nearest shop is about 0.5 miles away. You need go no further than the immediate area for a quiet, relaxing holiday, or combine beautiful scenery with all the culture that Manchester or Leeds (less than 1 hour to drive or by train) or other nearby cities (such as York or Liverpool) have to offer on days out. It is possible to stay here without a car (half a mile from a station, plus buses) but we would recommend a car for convenience. For those that want to travel further afield, it is around 2.5 hours by train from Leeds or Manchester to London or Glasgow or Edinburgh.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home

From our house it is short walk or drive to an excellent restaurant at the bottom of the road: Aux Delices. There is a quaint pub which does food called the Robin Hood in nearby Cragg Vale (the best steaks from their own farm). In Howarth, Claire at No 10 The Coffee Shop makes the best cakes in the county. The historic Piece Hall in Halifax is worth a trip and Riccis in Halifax near the town hall or his other restaurant in Dean Clough, Halifax, are excellent. One of the best Indian vegetarian restaurants in the country is Prashad and about 40 mins away. There is a nearby steam train (Keighley and Worth Valley Line). Salts Mill in Saltaire on the outskirts of Bradford is a world heritage site and worth a visit for the Hockneys in the 1853 Gallery. There is also an excellent museum in Bradford: The National Science and Media Museum, and cinemas (including an IMAX screen). Manchester is about 45 mins away, with art galleries and museums, and Liverpool is also just over an hour away by car and well worth a visit, as is beautiful and historic York (about 1.5 hrs).
