Easy Access to Local Areas of InterestRoyds Hall Farm Cottage is situated in open countryside, in the village of Stanbury a very short distance from Haworth, well known for its connections with the Bronte family. Haworth’s steep main street, paved with stone setts is lined with historic buildings, inns, shops, galleries and cafes, leading down to the Worth Valley Steam Railway. A short drive into nearby Keighley and you can ride on the world famous Keighley & Worth Valley steam railway, a delightfully restored five mile branch line, traveling back to Oxenhope and Haworth.
Visitors can ride on the steam railway and visit the historic church and Georgian Parsonage Museum, home to the Bronte Sisters, which contains a vast collection of their artifacts. A well-marked path from the Church yard leads to the Pennine heather clad moors with paths up to Bronte Falls and Top Withens (Wuthering Heights).
The stations on this historic line have appeared in numerous screen productions including 'The Railway Children', starring Jenny Agutta. For those interested in the local Bronte heritage, Bronte Falls and Top Withins (believed to be the inspiration for novel Wuthering Heights) are only 1 mile from your front door.
Only 5 miles away is the town of Hebden Bridge nestling in a steep sided valley with many interesting shops, cafes and walks. Hardcastle Crags, historic National Trust woodland, lies within easy walking distance of the town. Close by, is the hilltop village of Heptonstall, with ancient buildings including an old Grammar School and ruined church.
Skipton, is less than 10 miles away, where there is a weekly street market and an ancient church. Skipton Castle, one of the finest medieval castles in the country, is well worth a visit, having dungeons, a spiral staircase and a moat. Skipton, is known as the gateway to Yorkshire Dales National Park, whose attractions include Bolton Abbey, Grassington, Malham Cove, the Settle to Carlisle railway crossing Ribblehead Viaduct, Ripley Castle, Newby Hall and Gardens and Brimham Rocks.
Around 10 miles to the north of Skipton is the beautiful old dales village of Grassington. With fabulous boutiques, cafes and inns, it is a fabulous place to spend the day.
A little further afield are the cities of York, Leeds and Bradford where you can find theatres, the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television (Bradford) exploring various places of interest relating to its industrial heritage. And finally, excellent nightlife and famously fantastic curries! In Halifax you will find the Piece Hall and the famous Shibden Hall, again only 15 minutes away.
For any guests interested in waterways, only 15 minutes from the cottage you will fing Bingley Five Rise Locks, or a gentle stroll by the Canals either by narrow boat or by foot!
