Walking Steve and Debbie are keen walkers and Pinfold is ideally situated in the heart of the Southern Pennines. The Pennine Way is just 25 minutes by car and there are some beautiful walks. Steve and Debbie are happy to provide suggestions, directions and even a packed lunch if requested in advance. Hardcastle Crags is a beautiful valley maintained by the National Trust. Walk among deep rocky ravines, tumbling streams and pine woods. Once into the valley you will see the Crags - large stacks of millstone grit. |

Over the years we
have had numerous guests who are in the area tracing
their family history. These guests have told us
that the Elland
Historical Society, the
Central Library in Halifax and the Library in
Huddersfield have all been very helpful. Some
overseas visitors also mentioned that they found
newspapers dating back to when their families
were in the area very useful. We also have a couple
of books in the guest lounge containing photographs
of Elland and the surrounding area taken in the
1880’s which are fascinating even if you aren’t
researching your family tree. |
