Plan Your Visit
Everything you need to know before setting off. From directions to what to bring.
Getting To Height Gate
Height Gate is situated up a winding track off the main road (A646 Halifax Road) between Todmorden and Hebden Bridge. We encourage guests to use public transport where possible, then walk up to Height Gate. If driving we strongly encourage car sharing and keeping the number of vehicles going on the track to a minimum. Vehicles can be left at the valley bottom in the large layby on the main A646, 125m towards Hebden Bridge from the turning off to Height Gate.
DRIVING
If you are using a maps app such as Google Maps please use ‘Height Gate Camping Barn’ as opposed to the postcode as this will be more accurate.
Turn off the A646 at Stoodley Glen, follow the road over the bridge that goes across the canal. Follow the road until you get to the houses, from there take the track on the left instead of following the road to the houses. When coming up the track go straight over the first cattle grid. When you get to second cattle go over it and immediately take the right hand fork in the lane. Do not enter the large stone gates with ‘Height Farm’ on. Keep right and please continue down the track until the end and Height Gate camping Barn will be on your left.
Please watch the video below and look at the map underneath.
WALKING
If walking from Todmorden and Hebden Bridge stations please follow the map below. Alternatively you can walk down the canal from both stations and then follow the track up as shown in the above videos and maps.
PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Both Hebden Bridge and Todmorden have railway stations on the Manchester-Leeds line, and buses run regularly along the A646 between the two towns. Get off at the Eastwood bus stop. Buses 591/592 run on this route.
To reach Height Gate from the layby, walk in the Todmorden direction for about 125 metres, turn down Stoodley Glen then walk the same route as the vehicle directions above.
