Hardcastle Crags
Hardcastle Crags Is Based In Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire. It Is A National Trust Woodland Which Is Very Well Maintained. The Walk Is Easy But Can Be A Little Precarious Negotiating The Stones Which Have Been Set Out For Steps. It Is A Circulator Walk Which Is Fabulous For Dogs And Incorporates A Wonderful Cafe At Gibson Mill (Dog Friendly On Quieter Days With Seating Outside If Busy). There Is A Beautiful Shallow River Running Through The Woodland Which Is A Haven For Dogs. Highly Recommend This Walk! The Lodge Lancashire 2.10 miles
