- Join me for a walk around the remarkable village of Heptonstall, located high up on the hill above the delightful mill town of Hebden Bridge, in the Calderdale region of West Yorkshire. Home to some stunning landmarks and even more stunning sights, Heptonstall is truly one of Yorkshire's hidden gems, and a must-visit for all.
As we walk around Heptonstall, we pass a number of interesting landmarks, including Heptonstall Road, Longfield House, Town Gate, The Cross Inn, Heptonstall Cloth Hall, Heptonstall Museum, Heptonstall Grammar School, St. Thomas à Becket Church, Heptonstall Churchyard, St. Thomas The Apostle Church, Weavers Square, Smithwell Lane, Heptonstall Village Pump, The White Lion, Heptonstall Methodist Church, Heptonstall stocks, and a horse.

That was delightful, no chat, no music, just birdsong. Thank you very much, it was a much appreciated and enjoyed walk from the comfort of my armchair!
I loved this video. I live in the U.S. but my father was descended from the Farrar family of Heptonstall and Ewood Hall at Mytholmroyd. They were a gentry family of the 1400’s and 1500’s in the area who were in the cloth business in London. One of the younger sons went to Virginia in 1618 with Lord De la Warr, the colonial governor, and was an ancestor of my father. I am told the earlier family was buried in St. Thomas Becket church in Heptonstall. I hope to visit the area on another trip to England in the future.
AÏE AÏE AÏE QUELLE PETITE MERVEILLE CE VILLAGE PITTORESQUE DANS CETTE MAGNIFIQUE VALLÉE !..

TRÈS PASSIONNANTE VOTRE VISITE LET'S WALK !.. SUPER MERCI ET BELLE JOURNÉE !..
Ha ha merci beaucoup! Oui, Heptonstall est une des villes plus merveilleuses que j'ai trouvé en Angleterre - c'est un lieu que nous laisse d'éxperiencer la vie du passé :)
Merci pour regarder et vos jolies commentaires comme toujours - je suis très heureux que vous avez aimé le vidéo!
@@LetsWalkUK OH J'VOUS EN PRIE C'EST QUE DU BONHEUR VOS P'TITES SCÈNETTES
Thank you. I just found out that my 3rd great grandparents (Eastwoods) were married there in 1817 at St. James Chapel. He was a weaver.
Was honestly such a privilege to live here. I wish 1 day I can return
Adorable! Thank you very much!
Its just so quiet and peaceful, no screaming kids, no shouting no music blasting out, i could only imagine living there
Ha ha Heptonstall really is as idyllic as it gets! I suppose the price for all that serenity is climbing a very steep hill every day up from Hebden Bridge, but it would certainly be worth it to live in a place as spectacular as this :)
Thank you so much for watching - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
Living in a small community like Heptonstall you have to respect your neighbours because you see them every day, and with houses being so close together you don't just upset one but many, which can make life difficult. ;)
Oh my gosh those hills in town
Wow ,thats blown my mind ,and I live in Brighouse just a few miles away,very interesting!!!
Heptonstall really is an amazing hidden gem, and very easy to get to from Brighouse too! Just a little bit of a walk up from Hebden Bridge and you're in amongst some of the quaintest village streets in Britain :)
Thank you so much for watching - I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed the video!
And an expensive one these days ! I wish I'd known what would happen to prices there because I in the early 70's I could have bought Longfield House (at 1:20) for less than the cost of the computer I'm writing this on !
Thanks for your pictures! Stained glass restorer in the north of France, your video in Skipton touched me.
Your gaze through your videos on historical sites are simply, simple, efficient, respectful, in short essential, again
Thank you so much! Skipton and its church are certainly beautiful - and I'm really glad you're enjoying the videos!
Thank you for watching and for your very kind words :)
The White Lion & The Cross pubs are great.
Absolutely! And set amongst such gorgeous little streets - they're great places to take in the calming atmosphere of Heptonstall :)
Thank you so much for watching - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you very much for tours taking us to villages that we would never go otherwise, and even virtually no one else take us !
You're very welcome! I'm really glad to hear you're enjoying some of the smaller locations, there are so many hidden gems across England just like Heptonstall that lots of people don't know about :)
Thank you so much for watching!
I've been visting Heptonstall and the surrounding area for years and wasn't even aware of the Methodist chapel, will be sure to pay a visit next time, thank you for another brilliant video
that is a truly beautiful place to live. THX
It is! A magical and truly serene village like no other - the people of Heptonstall have a wonderful home :)
Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
❤fantastic video luv abou t the Methodist Chapel I was brought up one we loved to sing however in Australia we became the Uniting church an amalgamation of Protestant i still long for the old Methodist way
I go to Heptonstall every week and it is a pure delight and your video does it justice. Just a little story for you. The open fireplace in the Cross Inn was opened in 2014 up after being hidden away for 250 years. I was there when it was reopened. Read up on the Cragg Vale Coiners and the Cross Inn to know why
A village full of magic... thanks for letting us travel back in time!!!
You're more than welcome! Heptonstall really does have a bit of a magical feel to it - particularly with some of its oldest landmarks that do take you back centuries as you say :)
Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
Lovely!
And it's got two pubs!
Perfection!
Thanks for watching - I hope you enjoyed this one :)
Thank you for your historical details,
I know places as beautiful, in the heart of France, rare, abandoned and / or preserved from Tourism
Respect
Merci, de vos précisions historiques,
je connais des endroits aussi beau, au coeur de la France, rare, abandonné et/ou préservé du Tourisme
Respect
What a wonderful, peaceful place to live.
It is! I only visited to film this video so I was only in Heptonstall for a couple of hours, but I can imagine it must be a wonderfully serene place to live as you say :)
Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
@@LetsWalkUK I live there it is very peaceful but the village can get busy when the festivals are on
Beautiful
It is indeed! Heptonstall is a wonderful hidden gem with some of the most beautiful views in Yorkshire :)
Thank you so much for watching - I hope you enjoyed the video!
Adorei!
♡from Brazil! 🇧🇷
Obrigado! Sou muito feliz que você gostou do video - Heptonstall é um lugar muito lindo :)
@@LetsWalkUK Olá, it is on my wishes list to visit, for sure... ♧♧♧... while, I will keep watching your beautiful shows..
Tks, 🇧🇷!
Nice town very historical and beautiful 😀
It is indeed! And a delightful little place nestled away from the hustle and bustle of Yorkshire - I certainly love visiting Heptonstall :)
Thank you so much for watching as always - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
Beautiful village. A real time capsule. I have visited a few times as I live near Halifax. I like to take break in the cafe.
It really is like a time capsule - that's a wonderful way to put it! Nicely in reaching distance of a great town like Halifax, you're very lucky to have somewhere as wonderful as Heptonstall right on your doorstep :)
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed this video!
What a lovely village.
It really is - and very much worth the hike up the hill to find, there aren't many villages like Heptonstall anymore :)
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
@@LetsWalkUK yes enjoyed each one so far!
I love this village and area, fresh pure air we've had lots of breaks in this area, great walking trails, and great bus service.
What a beautiful church - was there any reason why they didn't protect the medieval church from the elements? as an historical and important building to be preserved for posterity...
It's an interesting question - as far as I understand the official practice of protecting/listing buildings for historical purposes only began in 1882, with more widespread protection coming in through the 20th century. I assume then - as the original church was largely ruined by the floods in the early 19th century - that nobody really thought to protect it from the elements, but I'm delighted that it's now a Scheduled Ancient Monument, and is regularly looked after in its current state :)
I hope that was helpful - it's a really good question to ask though! Thank you very much for watching - I do hope that you enjoyed the video!
@@LetsWalkUK thanks for the reply. Your content is wonderful as I’ve missed venturing out, and will definitely make a pit stop to discover the historical wonders around Yorkshire and beyond!
I used to live in Hebden Bridge in the '80s and nearly bought a house in Heptonstall, I dread to think how much it would be worth now, the locals can't afford to live here, so it's normally commuters from Manchester or Leeds.
Yes I can imagine that would probably be the case - it's a lovely, lovely place to be though - particularly for a nice day out in the Calder Valley :)
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
Respect for your time and
share it with us.
I would like to succeed one day, do the same, for my country
Respect pour votre temps et
nous le faire partager.
J'aimerai réussir un jour, en faire autant, pour mon pays
Please do! I'd love to see more unique places around France - your videos of Erquinghem-Lys and Skipton's joint ceremony and the drive around the countryside were very interesting indeed :)
Just moved here what beautiful place indeed
Serait-il possible de nous faire une visite virtuelle de la ville de chatham, un petit port de pêche maritime
Bien sûr! Je metterai Chatham sur ma liste de destinations du futur :) Merci pour avoir regardé le vidéo ici!
wow, stunning video and awesome history of Heptonstall. is there accomodation in the village somewhere if you'll be arriving as an oseas visitor with no car?
It's a stunning and awesome village indeed! There's lots of accommodation for visitors without cars - either in Heptonstall at the Cross Inn or a number of holiday cottages, or down the hill in Hebden Bridge, where there are lots of places to stay :)
I hope you have a great time when you get the chance to visit in the future :) Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words!
@@LetsWalkUK thank you for the advice on where theres places to stay. this place is def on my bucket list when we can travel oseas again.
The video is interesting but not quite accurate. Visitors don't have to climb up the hill as there is a regular bus service from Hebden Bridge. Also the cobbles were not laid in the 1980's but, uncovered then and it was decided to leave them on top to slow down the traffic.
You ought to come back in summertime as the Shadows now far too great and the place looks dark and spooky. FAIL
Halifax is made 'o wax Eptonstall 'o sto'en Theirs prity girls in Halifax in Eptonstall thi's noan.
LOOOKS LIKE A BIG JAIL - NOTHING NICE
