Join us un this video for a gentle stroll around the charming and lively West Yorkshire town of Hebden Bridge. Our walk started from the hamlet of Cragg Vale just above Mytholmroyd, where there is a Caravan & Motorhome Club site.
The route is very straigntforward, so I won't share the route as I usually would. The distance is around 6 miles there and back.
Many thanks for watching!

    Ha ha ha! It is pronounced My-Thom-Royd. My great -grandfather came from Mythomroyd. Coincidentally we did that very same walk to HB along the cut from Mytholmroyd a couple of weeks back. Of all my local walking areas, Calderdale is definitely my favourite. If you go again, there is a community pub called the Robin Hood a bit higher up Cragg Vale which is excellent. A very interesting watch Des. Nice to see your take on somewhere quite local.

    every review on YT about this sleeping bag has been positive , after watching your review I made the decision to buy one. I live in the Howgill fells in Cumbria and it gets seriously cold here so this bag should be great for me on my night bivvy adventures with my dog. The price was 143 from Go Outdoors .

    Thanks for this video. I have just bought a second one. It might sound ridiculous to some but in these uncertain times I’ve put kit together to facilitate my family to leave our urban area on foot if need be and be able to hopefully escape any madness… I think the term is “bugging out”. I have a Bivvy each and all the rest. I enjoy camping and being outdoors so it’s a hobby and slowly I’m building up a kit that would hopefully see us tough out hard times. I think the basha is a light weight and versatile shelter that packs down tight. A bit of cordage and you’re good to go. Cheers mate

    Solid walk there Des. That hill Fort seemed like such an important place for Wales. I'm always in 2 minds about the old railway lines as on one hand it serves as pathways and walking routes but on the other cuts off communities to each other. I have to say the highlight was the Bison. They looked amazing. Wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of one but really unusual on a hike. Thanks for taking us along and hope you are both doing well. Speak soon. Happy hiking as always 👍😃👍🥾🥾🥃🥃

      Hi Scott. We had a great weekend in the area! The hill fort was the highlight for me (probably the FA Cup final result was the highlight for Maria 😂). Yes, thos old railways make great footpaths. And they've struck a good balance in this area, as they've restored the line from Corwen to Llangollen, but others have been left as footpaths. Hope you are keeping well and steering clear of the midgies now it's that time of year again! 👍😁

    Anyone who wanted to sack that fort would have to have a lot of stamina to get up there and then fight. I bet it was an impressive structure in its time. I loved the old slate field dividers too, I've not seen them before. Certainly a beautiful hike Des, thanks for sharing.

    Blimey! That did look well preserved Des....looks like they've only just left. I'm wondering if the Cynwyd you mentioned is the one I stayed at many years ago. We stayed in the youth hostel and it was freezing.....I had about five of those horrible itchy blankets in a futile effort to keep warm. We did the Berwyns the next day.

      Hi Chris. Yes, must be the same place. It's on the North Berwyn Way, so probably a good location for a hostel (although I saw no sign of it). I remember those YHA blankets! Your sheet sleeping bag was your best friend! 😂 All the best & catch you soon!

    Driven through so many times and never stopped once (a shame ) but Des you did and what a great hill walk you had (those hill forts are fascinating (shame I know so little about them 😢)) as we have one in the Malverns and caer caradoc in the Shropshire hills Too A well earned beer mate 👍🤠👌🏻 Best wishes Simon

      Hi Simon. I do love a good hill fort! The Berwyn's do have more challenging walks, but I guess a lot of people pass through on their way to Eryri. I think Maria enjoyed this fairly low level route, so I may have to save the higher ones for a solo visit 😁 Hope all is well with you! Catch you soon👍☺

    You are for sure in Owain Glyndwr country des. A lovely walk along the lanes and river - green to the doors. I imagine them stone boundary walls would have been harder work than just fashioning wooden fences. They certainly look hefty. Well, stone was the thing as was Iron. A pretty impressive fort that des. All hand built eh? Well, good going. I see the big hills in the distance. All the best. Mark

      Hi Mark. It is a very green and pleasant area. And the Berwyn range offers more challenging hiking if you're in the mood. I'll definitely stay in the area again, as it's pretty easy for us to get to. The hill fort was fantastic. Easily the best one I've visited. Cheers & see you soon! 👍☺
