Three miles from Sowerby Bridge in the Ryburn Valley, the Calderdale village of Ripponden is situated in a rural Pennine area. Traditional stone-built cottages make up the majority of the village, which also has a few excellent pubs serving food and real ale, a neighbourhood supermarket, and a small high street with shops, cafes, an award-winning restaurant, takeaways, and other establishments. The River Ryburn meanders through the middle of the village. In the neighbouring hills are charming historic weaving villages that were situated in the centre of the Industrial Revolution. In terms of archaeology, the region is noteworthy for its Neolithic, Bronze Age, and Roman road remnants. The Cat Stones are a collection of ancient round barrow burial mounds that may be seen on Rishworth Moor, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and home to numerous unusual animals. The annual Rushbearing Festival, which takes place in the fall and features dancing groups from throughout the nation, including Morris Dancers, is another notable event in Ripponden Village. Hebden Bridge, a vibrant, bohemian town nearby, is home to markets, bistros, restaurants, a local movie theatre, art galleries, and the Rochdale Canal. You can reach the Parsonage Museum, which honours the illustrious Bronte family, by taking a beautiful vehicle journey across the moors. To reach "Last of the Summer Wine" country, take a short drive in the opposite way. There are numerous National Trust sites and listed buildings nearby. Steam train aficionados must visit the Haworth region to experience the flourishing Worth Valley Railway.

From heather-clad moors and limestone scars, to market towns and the steady pace of country life - the sublime Dales await you! Where else in Britain is it as satisfying to sit and do nothing as it is to explore the numerous pursuits on offer?
