So we decided to head for Hebden Bridge after watching a really fantastic video by one of our favourite RU-vidrs Travel Crush. After seeing the beauty of Hebden Bridge in her video we just had to come and film a 4K walk around this historic market town.
Luckily for us when we arrived there was a market happening too so you get the bonus of having a nosey round the market stalls as well! The Hebden Bridge Market Days are really popular, to the point that they've been extended to more days per week now too!
We begin our Hebden Bridge tour in St Georges Square at the huge sundial in the centre of this square, which is surrounded on all sides by places to eat and drink, whether it's a cafe, restaurant, pub or market stall.
Hebden Bridge is now most notable for it's tourism, it's independent shops and businesses, it's creativity and the artists and creatives living there, and it's popularity with walkers, hikers and people spending the day there.
It's also famously the lesbian capital of the UK with a sizeable population of gay and lesbian people in the town so it's definitely an LGBTQ friendly town here in Hebden Bridge West Yorkshire.
Ed Sheeran grew up in Hebden Bridge too, just up the road in a house on a hill (on Birchcliffe Road to be exact up a very steep hill!)
Comedian Jon Richardson (of 8 out of 10 Cats fame) lives Hebden Bridge with his wife Lucy Beaumont
Hebden Bridge lies close to the Pennine Way and Hardcastle Crags and is popular for outdoor pursuits such as walking, climbing and cycling. It lies on the Rochdale Canal - a through route across the Pennines.
Our Hebden Bridge town walk continues as we head around the market, back across St Georges Square, along Bridge Gate and down onto New Road.
From New Road we can see across to Hebden Trades club, a fantastic live music venue. Next to that is the Little Theatre and behind that is Rochdale Canal.
As we come along New Road opposite the park we take a left onto Crown Street and down to Lees Yard where the market is happening.
Next up on our Hebden Bridge visit is a walk over to the Town Hall on St Georges Street, and then round to Old Gate and the old bridge over the river where our tour ends.
I really hope you enjoy this 4K Walk and that it inspires you to come here for a visit, to check out the fantastic independent shops and businesses, the great market, the fantastic shopping, the live music, canal, parks, cinema and more! It really is a fantastic place and we'll be back soon to film another walk through the town.
