  • Dog-friendly site next to a river with access to Pennine Way
  • In Brontë country, two miles from the Haworth Brontë Parsonage Museum
  • Excellent walks to Hebden Bridge; five-minute walk to a pub
Always keen for a good, long walk or a getaway in an area packed with literary history? If your answer is yes, to both or either, get your bags packed and make your way to Ponden Mill in West Yorkshire. The Pennine Way, a national trail, crosses near the mill, and there is also access to excellent walks to Hebden Bridge or further away. It’s also in Brontë country, an area which inspired the Brontë sisters’ classics. You could start by strolling or driving the two miles to the Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth, although there are many more Brontë sites in the local area including the inspiration for Wuthering Heights on the hill facing the mill. On site, there is a grass woodland area alongside a river. All pitches are generous in size, most of them placed on flat, well-drained ground. There are excellent views too; the site sits underneath Scar Top Chapel. Within 100 metres of the pitches, the main facilities include toilets, showers and a washing-up area. Dogs are also welcome. A pub is a five-minute walk away, and there are grocery stores in Haworth.
