Getting there
  • Driving: Several car-parks in Cullingworth
  • Public transport:
  • From York: Train to Bradford Interchange then bus K4 to Cullingworth (c. 1h55)
  • From Leeds: Train to Bingley and bus K4 to Cullingworth (c. 46 mins)

Watering Holes
  • The Bay Horse Inn – Oxenhope – c. 6.2 miles into the walk (2h45) A great village pub where both locals and visitors are welcome. Outdoor seating in the summer. Good selection of excellent cask ales and recognised by CAMRA. Unfortunately, no food served.
  • Plenty of pubs and cafes in Haworth – small detour from the walk
    I will make a separate post for those.

Make a week-end of it

Haworth is a fantastic village. Visit the Brontë sisters parsonage, independent shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. Check my other post for more details.
