The C Walk from Hebden Bridge is a fairly flat firm ground walk, which starts by heading west along the canal towpath towards Luddenden Foot. The walk passes by canal locks, interesting buildings and beautiful countryside. Hebden Bridge was part of the woollen industry and in particular Worsted Trouser material; - hence the nickname, “Trouser Town”. Evidence of some of the woollen mills can still be seen from the towpath.
We will have lunch in Luddenden Foot by the canal and return on the opposite side of the valley, alongside the river and railway line.
During the walk we should see canal boats travelling up and down the waterway. On the day of the recce the river was in full flow over rapids and small waterfalls providing interesting stops.
