Calderdale Heritage Walks - 2007 |
|
The "Calderdale Heritage Walks" programmes are provided as a courtesy to our visitors. Please mention Caldernet if you do attend any of the walks. Many thanks.
 Our well-researched walks explain the history of local towns and villages
and their fascinating features. For 2007
we've added new walks at Luddenden, Mytholmroyd, Rastrick, Hebden Bridge,
Barkisland, Old Town, Lightcliffe, Sowerby, and these
are marked µ to indicate their first presentation .
Walks are about 2 hours, circular and fairly easy walking, unless
otherwise stated. Stout shoes are needed
at rural venues. Our walks are not
normally suitable for under 13s, but the walk on 16 Sept. is suitable
for young people 8+ with their parents.
Most walks are £3.00 each (regardless of age) and
booking is not needed, just turn up on the day. But see special notes regarding
the 'Outlaws & Nuns' walks.
The programme is produced with the co-operation of
Calderdale Countryside Service. Our
thanks also to other sections of Calderdale MBC for their continued assistance. Guides can also be booked for private groups – we've around 50 different
walks available. For details email us at
: CdaleHeritageWks@aol.com or phone
01422 201640.

Apologies to all our visitors for the lack of updates of late. Due to serious health problems and eventual hospitalisation I've been a little remiss. I'm back now and the camera's feeling neglected so we'll have some updates soon.
We're also in the process of moving servers at the moment, please CONTACT US should you find something that isn't working as it should be.
Many thanks
The Management ;o)

A special meeting of Calderdale Council last night approved a deal to ensure the long term viability of the stadium following one of the biggest town centre demonstrations in years involving more than 1,000 supporters. |

Halifax Snooker Club and Bowling Alley update |
|
Progress is coming along nicely and I have to say the new frontage is looking good. I'm not too sure about the building looking like an old fashioned ocean-liner, but it compliments the HBOS building nicely with its smoked glass and local sandstone colour.
