Anything to do around Halifax?

[Dan_1981]

Car booked in for some work on Saturday at a place in Halifax.

Its an all day thing so the missus is driving up with me as well and then dropping me back off when the car is ready.

What is there to do up there while we wait?

If the weather is nice anywhere we can go for a walk / picnic etc day in the sun?

If the weather's grotty i'm guessing we'll end up traipsing around the White Rose centre.

if it's nice head to haworth, only a short drive away. or there's ilkley for women friendly shops and a walk on t'moor. or grassington [prob an hour's drive though] for a mug of yorkshire tea and some parkin

Yorkshire sculpture park can be a nice place to visit for a picnic.

National coal mining museum and take a trip down t'pit ? :-P

Both of these are great suggestions. The pit might be busy in school holidays though.

You could always get the train to Hebden Bridge, take in a cafe or two then have a walk up the river to Hardcastle Crags.

Spend the day in Leeds, shopping, eating, drinking, take your pick

Shibden Hall & Park is nice, one mile out of the town centre.

Train/Drive to Hebden Bridge...(already mentioned)

Indoor market hall is quite good.

How about Halifax and a wander around the Piece Hall?

tbh I'd avoid Halifax itself if you can. surrounding area is much nicer

Well indeed. It is a diamond in the rough.
