For a shopping spree, the nearby vibrant town of Skipton has a high street full of shops, beautiful architecture, an abundance of eateries, and a lively market, whilst further afield, the town of Hebden Bridge is the perfect day trip, set near River Calder, with Heptonstall Museum, plenty of amenities, and art galleries to tour, whilst travelling a little further will bring you to the National Trust - Hardcastle Crags, with breathtaking waterfalls, and nature-filled country parks.
All of this awaits with a stay at Thimble Cottage.
The small village of Haworth was home to the famous Bronte sisters, who were inspired by the surrounding moorland to pen their novels, which have become classics of English Literature. Haworth is a village that time almost forgot, with its myriad of curiosity and antique shops, alleyways and cobbled streets creating a wonderful period atmosphere, all set against a framing backdrop of countryside famously described in the novel Wuthering Heights as wild, rugged and barren. Nearby, the famous Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, an authentic steam railway brought to prominence in the film The Railway Children, provides a lovely day out with a regular service to the old village of Oxenhope. The area abounds with popular places to visit, including the Bronte Parsonage Museum, East Riddlesden Hall, and the National Railway Museum in York. The market town of Skipton, often fondly regarded as the Gateway to the Yorkshire Dales, is just a short drive away, and also within reach are elegant Harrogate and vibrant Leeds and Manchester.

The price was very very reasonable. Any assistance required the owners would reply to any request. Location was superb. Parking is next to the door and out of the way of main road. I strongly recommend anyone coming to Haworth should seriously consider this location. Thanks again. Derrick and Rebecca. xx
