Walking:
The property is in the heart of the Holme Valley, which boasts some of the best countryside in Yorkshire and is very famous and popular for its varied walks and treks through stunning scenery. The house is also situated on the edge of the beautiful National Peak District which is easily accessible.
There are numerous guided walks to suit all ages and abilities, some of which can be accessed from the house itself without having to drive. We have details of these walks in a booklet in the house, but if you wish to venture further afield and really take in the breathtaking scenery, we would advise that an ordinance survey map of the area is purchased from the local Tourist Information Centre. There are walks around reservoirs, woodland and forests, open moorland and designated open tracks into the most beautiful countryside in the area, some of these tracks link on to the Pennine way.
Cycling / Horse Riding:
There are many off road tracks suitable for cycling as well as quiet back roads where there is little or no traffic at all, this coupled with the beautiful surrounding scenery, makes Holmfirth the perfect place to come and cycle. There are countless routes to go on, long or short with varying terrain for all the family. The house is near to the West Yorkshire Cycle Route which is also accessed from the house. There is also an old abandoned railway line which has been tuned into a cycle route from Dunford Bridge and takes you to Pennistone and back which is perfectly flat and ideal for young children and adults alike.
