Three miles from Sowerby Bridge in the Ryburn Valley, the Calderdale village of Ripponden is situated in a rural Pennine area. Traditional stone-built cottages make up the majority of the village, which also has a few excellent pubs serving food and real ale, a neighbourhood supermarket, and a small high street with shops, cafes, an award-winning restaurant, takeaways, and other establishments. The River Ryburn meanders through the middle of the village. In the neighbouring hills are charming historic weaving villages that were situated in the centre of the Industrial Revolution. In terms of archaeology, the region is noteworthy for its Neolithic, Bronze Age, and Roman road remnants. The Cat Stones are a collection of ancient round barrow burial mounds that may be seen on Rishworth Moor, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and home to numerous unusual animals. The annual Rushbearing Festival, which takes place in the fall and features dancing groups from throughout the nation, including Morris Dancers, is another notable event in Ripponden Village. Hebden Bridge, a vibrant, bohemian town nearby, is home to markets, bistros, restaurants, a local movie theatre, art galleries, and the Rochdale Canal. You can reach the Parsonage Museum, which honours the illustrious Bronte family, by taking a beautiful vehicle journey across the moors. To reach "Last of the Summer Wine" country, take a short drive in the opposite way. There are numerous National Trust sites and listed buildings nearby. Steam train aficionados must visit the Haworth region to experience the flourishing Worth Valley Railway.

    John the owner was warm and welcoming, as were everyone in the surrounding cottages. We were provided with a lovely array of provisions. The cottage was small but warm and we had everything we needed. The garden was safe and enclosed for the dog. The area was beautiful. John was very considerate both to us and his former guest, liaising between us to ascertain what leeway could be made during our stays, if required, due to the tricky weather conditions. This is a place we would certainly recommend for its homeliness. We live only 30 minutes away and stayed while we were having renovations on our own home. Pity we haven't any more planned as we would love to come back here.
