Hebden Bridge a jewel snuggled between the luscious hills, dales, river Calder & Hebden and the Rochdale Canal, is a delightful quirky little retreat for a truly topical, interesting and awesome day out, walk, bike ride or a vegan lunch. They say its one of the friendliest and accommodating small towns in England. Anything goes here. Flamboyant hair, outrageous outfits and busking in the centre cobbled square is a treat for every visitor. Interesting and arty shops nestled around traditional cobbled streets with a cafe, coffee shop and restaurant to sate every palate and desire. Ducks and swans to feed under the beautiful iron bridge with the delightful sight of regular well known Hebden artist, building free standing rock sculptures, in the middle of the river Calder. This gem of an attraction is still home to a traditional baker, grocers and florist providing first class produce, as well as a traditional fruit and veggies market each week. A must visit and perusal to Jules China shop, the Pot Shop, the Polish Pottery shop and Innovations Gift...you will not be disappointed. If you're interested in antiques there is the Hebden Antique Centre and an odds and sods market on a Wednesday in Market Square just across the iron bridge. Art and craft is in abundance with B Beads, Pottery Painting, Northlight Art Studios and plenty of activities in the Town Hall and Library including a book club meeting on Friday afternoons. If its theatre you are interested in there is Hebden Bridge Little Theatre and the Hebden Picture House. You can easily spend a full day meandering the wonderful cobbled streets of this little town but without doubt you will be back as there is so much to soak up and enjoy. Hebden is a little piece of paradise tucked into the Valley of Calderdale's beautiful luscious countryside.
