INCLUDED EXCURSIONS

Calderdale & Haworth
Enjoy a day out in beautiful Calderdale, the southernmost of the Yorkshire Dales and part of the beautiful South Pennines area of river valleys, moorland and hill country. The Rochdale Canal and Calder & Hebble Navigation meet at Sowerby Bridge and the Wharf area is the heart of the town's great food and drink offering. The town has featured in the hit series, 'Happy Valley' starring Sarah Lancashire as strong-willed police sergeant, Catherine Cawood. Just down the road and surrounded by breathtaking countryside, the beguiling town of Hebden Bridge is known for its arty and creative identity. If its winding streets look familiar, it is because this quirky and charismatic town has caught the eye of many a TV and film director, propelling it to star status. Some of the films and shows made here include Sharpe, Swallows & Amazons and of course, Happy Valley. A final stop in charming Haworth, surrounded by wild and atmospheric moorland, where its quaint cobbled main street lined by pretty independent stores makes you feel as though you have stepped back in time. Home to the Bronte sisters, Haworth village is where Wuthering Heights characters Cathy and Heathcliff were born and where Jane Eyre came to life
