Situated in the centre of the small, yet bustling ex-mill town of Hebden Bridge, the Hebden Bridge Visitor and Canal Centre has a warm welcome for residents and visitors alike.

Hebden Bridge, the ‘Pennine Centre’, is a town of real character which grew out of textile production. Heptonstall, above the town, became the centre for weavers and Hebden Bridge was the river crossing point for packhorses laden with cloth, salt and food. The stone bridge visitors see today was built in 1510.
