Oakworth 1.3 miles. Enjoying a wonderful position within the picturesque Worth Valley, which was made famous by the classic 1970 film, The Railway Children is Pickles Hill Cottage, situated on the outskirts of Oakworth village. This delightful accommodation boasts beautiful views over Haworth Moors and is perfect for couples or small families to explore West Yorkshire and its magnitude of pretty towns and villages, as well as the North Yorkshire National Park. Enter into the warmth of the cottage and be welcomed into the sitting room, where the exposed beams frame the traditional-style furnishings, complemented by a gas coal-effect fire, making a tranquil spot to return to at the end of an adventure-filled day. Joining this space is the dining table, where you and your loved ones can gather to tuck into a home-cooked meal that was prepared in the well-equipped kitchen. Afterwards, look forward to catching your rest in one of the two bedrooms; choose from a double bedroom with elegant furnishings and a single bedroom, ideally set up for a child. Soak up the countryside surroundings further, by taking dining outdoors on the patio, where you can catch a glimpse of the sunset while soaking in the bubbling hot tub. If you can tear yourself away from this quaint abode, head into the village of Oakworth, where you will find a plethora of amenities, including a choice of pubs and a shop for picking up the essentials.

Oakworth, a little Pennine village not far from Haworth that looks out over the Worth Valley, shot to fame when E.E. Nesbitt's story The Railway Children was adapted into a great 1970 film. Oakworth is conveniently located near the town of Keighley and the town of Haworth, and it also features a beautiful ornamental park and easy access to the surrounding moors. The Bronte sisters, who lived in nearby Haworth, found inspiration in the local moors. Haworth is home to a plethora of antique and curiosity shops, as well as winding alleys and cobblestone lanes that give the town a beautiful, old-world vibe, and it's all set against the picturesque landscape made famous by Emily Bront's Wuthering Heights. The old village of Oxenhope is conveniently close, and a trip on the Worth Valley Railway, made famous by the film The Railway Children, is a wonderful way to spend the day. The Bronte Parsonage Museum, East Riddlesden Hall, and the Museum of Rail are just a few of the many tourist attractions in the neighbourhood. Skipton, known as the "Gateway to the Yorkshire Dales," is not far away by car, nor are the more refined Harrogate or the bustling cities of Leeds or Manchester.
