Blackshaw Head West Yorkshire Map

About Blackshaw Head

Blackshaw Head exhales a quiet dignity upon the West Yorkshire moors. It lies 3.6 km west of Hebden Bridge (from Hebden Bridge: bearing 275°T, OS grid SD 955 275), and is situated south-west of Colden village. The air here possesses a certain clarity, a crispness that speaks of the open country stretching out in every direction, its undulating forms softened by the prevailing light. Though Blackshaw Head may not boast grand edifices, its modest stone cottages, clustered with a sense of communal purpose, offer a pleasing symmetry against the wilder backdrop. One can almost feel the resilience of those who first settled this place, their lives intrinsically bound to the seasons and the hardy sheep that graze the surrounding fells. The very landscape seems to whisper tales of generations who have known this particular stretch of sky.
