23 AUGUST – A village like Heptonstall is full of stories – about itself, about its inhabitants, about their worldview. We hear a few from over the centuries in this partially revised, partially new walk. This walk is not suitable for mobility scooters. No dogs.
Meet John Billingsley at Heptonstall Bowling Club car park, HX7 7LT

Except where stated otherwise, the charge for our walks is £4 (all ages)
We must reserve the right not to take anyone on walks who seems unlikely to cope with the conditions. Every effort is made to adhere to the published programme, but we must also reserve the right to cancel or amend any walk if circumstances make that necessary. For insurance reasons, children younger than 13 can’t join our walks.
Our website has more information about us and the walks at: https://calderdaleheritagewalks.org.uk
You can also catch us on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/CalderHeritage Should any issues arise which might affect a walk’s viability, we aim to post details on our page there.
Unless stated, all walks begin at 2pm. Please wear appropriate footwear.
Most walks last 2 to 2¼ hours and those are fairly easy walking – normally on surfaced paths. A few walks are a little longer, use rural paths or are harder walking – there will be a note in the text about those. Almost all starting points are served by public transport. The majority of walks are circular, finishing at the starting point; however a few walks are linear, and these are marked in the text. Good walking shoes are recommended.
Unless stated, walks begin at 2pm.
