THE LOCAL AREA

The Bradshaw Tavern is the ideal starting or finishing point for a great day out in the beautiful West Yorkshire countryside...

Set in an area of outstanding natural beauty with many public footpaths nearby and surrounded my beautiful rolling Yorkshire hills, the Bradshaw Tavern is an ideal point to set off for a great walk into the countryside.  Calderdale Council organise many guided walks and more information can be found here.
Only a mile away is the stunning Ogden Water with its woodland walks and glorious views.  The paths have varying degrees of accessibility but the main route around the reservoir is designed to be completely wheelchair friendly.  An excellent way to get build a healthy appetite before enjoying our wide ranging menu.
Another popular local attraction is the famous Keighley and Worth Valley Railway.  Setting of the film "The Railway Children", the railway has an impressive collection of running vintage steam engines and has services between Keighley and Oxenhope, passing through Howarth most days.  There is also a rail museum at Ingrow (West) on the route.
The village of Howarth is the heart of Bronte country and was the family home as well as the inspiration behind the book "Wuthering Heights".  The village centre is a wonderful place to spend the morning and has a large variety of interesting and unique shops and is a mere 15 minute drive from the Bradshaw Tavern.
