Neighborhood highlights

The cottage is a short walk from Shibden Hall which is the focus of the BBC drama series written by Sally Wainwright, ‘Gentleman Jack’, exploring the life of Anne Lister (1791 – 1840) and those who lived in the Hall and Estate. Shibden Hall can be seen from our cottage.

The cottage is a 10 minute drive from the Halifax Piece Hall, The Piece Hall is nestled within a dramatic landscape of rolling hills and wooded valleys at the centre of the West Yorkshire town of Halifax. This is Britain’s last surviving cloth hall and, following a multi-million pound transformation project, now features independent shops, cafes and bars, heritage visitor centre, art gallery and a spectacular events programme.

The Shibden valley itself is a stunning location for walking, running or cycling. The Penine Bridleway National Trail, including the Mary Towneley Loop, passes through the area, as well as the Calderdale Way. There are shorter walks available locally which take you past the famous filming locations of the 'Gentleman Jack' series.
