Hardcastle Crags from Heptonstall Bluebells & Ramsons Wellness Walk

Hardcastle Crags Bluebell Walk
Easy Paced Spring Wellness Walk through the Beautiful Hardcastle Crags West Yorkshire. Walk will be around 7.5 miles 300m ascent & mostly amongst woodland in the crags.
The Crags are famed for their Gorgeous Spring display of Bluebells & Ramsons, something we hope to enjoy.
We’ll be walking from Heptonstall Village centre ‘Cross Inn’ down into Midge Hole & then following the river up towards the top of the crags via Gibson Mill before returning, slowly gaining height, to the Village of Heptonstall.
The walk is hilly in a few places, but we’ll take our time.
Heptonstall is a particularly interesting village, being the home of Sylvia Plath, & her Husband Ted Hughes.
Her grave is in the churchyard.
The Crags themselves are Awesome! 😊
