Absolutely fab walk...nice and challenging at the beginning with great scenery/views throughout the hike. Highly recommended 👍🏼

February 22, 2025,Hebden Bridge ‘Switzerland of Yorkshire’ hike inc Lumb Falls

A fantastic walk taking in varied scenery. Up hill and down dale. Parking in Hebden Bridge at the train station. A cafe and toilets along the route at Gibson Mill. Lumb Falls is a great addition to the walk.
