You’ll find passionate people in quirky villages who want to share what they know. Explore Meltham, Slaithwaite, Shepley, Holmfirth and Marsden. For more information visit: www.southpennines.co.uk

Perfect for circular, long and short walks, some like Blackmoorfoot can cater for pushchairs and wheelchairs too. Yorkshire Water manages the sites; its website gives routes for reservoir walks and fishing opportunities www.yorkshirewater.com

Peak District National Park OK, so maybe The Dark Peak doesn’t sound like the most welcoming of places, but we promise it’s well worth the visit. The village of Holme has unsurpassed views, and the glorious Fleece Inn serves delicious home produce around crackling log-fires. There are reports of ghost planes and a magical vista around West Nab on the remote Meltham Moor – can you find the remains of the US B-17 ‘Flying Fortress’ which crashed in 1945?

Canals Lovingly restored canals that once brought the riches of the Industrial Revolution, are now great walking, cycling, leisure boating and fishing playgrounds.
