Following the walk, enjoy a meal or drink in one of Hebden's many popular cafes and pubs.

As ever, Pennine weather can be changeable and hill-walking can be muddy even in dry weather, so walkers are advised to dress appropriately for the forecast conditions. Bring a packed lunch and drink to enjoy outdoors in good company. 

This walk crosses some farmland and sensitive moorland, where lambing and the arrival of ground-nesting birds will be in progress so dogs must be kept on a lead and under close control.

Pay-and-display parking in Hebden Bridge at weekends can be under pressure, but it is well-served by public transport by bus and train.
