(OL21, grid reference 972252)

The Best postcode for navigation is OL14 6DL, but instead of turning right behind the houses at the end of Stoodley Glen follow the winding track, taking the fork to the right near the top until you reach Height Gate on your left.

Do NOT drive through the large stone gate posts immediately after the top cattle grid. This is not the Height Gate Camping Barn nor is there any access to the camping barn via this private driveway.

Vehicle access and parking

Height Gate is reached by a hilly farm track about one mile up from the main road (A646 Halifax to Todmorden Road). Please note there are limited passing places along the track, so long steep reversing may be required. The track is not recommended for vehicles with low ground clearance.

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.

To reach Height Gate, turn down Stoodley Glen by the Masons Lodge, drive over the canal, follow the tarmac road over the canal to a gate at the bottom of the track. Continue uphill on the winding track, taking the fork to the right near the top until you reach Height Gate on your left.

Do NOT drive through the large stone gate posts immediately after the top cattle grid. This is not the Height Gate Camping Barn nor is there any access to the camping barn via this private driveway.

There is parking for up to 8 small cars at Height Gate: 5 on the gravel parking area 50 metres on your left before Height Gate, 3 next to the building.

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.

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.
