Recently moved and this is now on my doorstep. Does anyone have an good routes around the fell areas above Hebden?
Have had a ride along Norland moor which I thought was pretty good but too short. Good for an evening blast though.

    Oh hell yes. I live on the Todmorden side of Burnley, so about 10 miles from Hebden. Where do you want to start?

    I take it that you're closer to Sowerby Bridge/Mytholmroyd then if you've been up Norland Moor?

    Unfortunately the immediate area is a bit thin on the ground for legitimate trails - the better stuff is further to the West in the Hebden Bridge/Todmorden/Walsden/Heptonstall area. There are enough old pack horse trails and ginnels to keep you occupied for years.

    I can certainly show you some of the good stuff - I'll PM you.

    BTW - you only find fells in Cumbria, Lancashire, North Yorkshire and Cleveland - the lumpy bits in West Yorkshire are moors...
