I just love these old stone buildings… looks like a really neat spot!

Yeah man, it was a little slice of literary heaven wrapped up in whole wallop of granite loveliness 😆 😉

In all seriousness though, Heptonstall was such an interesting place to visit, and just really chilled to wander around... plus it didn't rain!

The UK has so many hidden gems. I have yet to visit this one! Great post!

Cheers m8.

The UK has so many hidden gems.

Yeah, it really has and when you've been here all your life you kind of forget sometimes, well I do ;-)

It was a real nice trip away and I got some much needed R+R and inspiration in Yorkshire :)

You really have to live there or be on an extended visit to see the more obscure places. Earlier this year I saw Ely and West Wycombe. Both were neat.

I've never been to either, I shall have to google them. Or if you've written about them I'll check that out?

I've been to quite a few of the UK's hidden gems. My favorite was the Farne isles to dive with seals. Seriously nice.

Yeah, I have blogs for both.

I love a tag and so glad you tagged me in this one. A wonderful post and I was caught up in Plath and Hughes descriptions of the bleak landscape they saw. I never saw gorse in that way - only Plath, with her troubled mind, could describe it so. I always like Hughes more than Plath.

As soon as you mentioned highwayman I was reminded of the Alfred Noyes poem 'The Highwayman', which Dad had me memorise as a kid for 100 bucks because he didnt believe I could do it.

The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees.

The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas.

The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,

And the highwayman came riding—

     Riding—riding—

The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.

No wonder we all had visions of
England as dark and dour, grey and cold.. literature had us believe it so. This is such a contrast to your blue skies of your hike... but suits all the more the poets who inspired your own musings of this place!

Hopefully we can get a car for a while when we come home, you have made me desperate to go back to Yorkshire!!!

An exemplary post, Rowan!!

Very impressive shots and outline. Thanks for sharing your experience. Happy Friday Raj!

Cheers dude. Happy Friday right back at you buzweaveryoutube :)

Wow stunning I will have to pay it a visit not too far from me. That chapel is incredible too. Wonderful words too 💯🐒

Cheers dude.

Yes, it's well worth a visit. If you're close, you could easily do a day where you see both Hebden bridge and heptonstall. Or if you've already been to Hebden bridge, there is a lovely walk in a national trust place called Hardcastle Craggs near to where we stayed in old town 🙂

Never been to either! Looks like a nice cycle actually might do that when we next get some sun a day job for sure. Thanks 💯🐒
