Shackleton West Yorkshire Map

About Shackleton

Shackleton rests in the folds of Calderdale, a quiet scattering of stone against the vast Yorkshire sky. It lies 2.5 km north-north-west of Hebden Bridge (from Hebden Bridge: bearing 340°T, OS grid SD 983 295), and is situated west of Pecket Well village. The air here, carrying the faint scent of damp earth and distant sheep, seems to hold a particular stillness, as if the very stones remember the passage of generations. Though small, Shackleton possesses a certain resilience, its houses clustered as if for shared warmth against the moorland winds that sweep down from the higher ground. The light, when it breaks through the often-clouded heavens, can fall in luminous shafts, illuminating the rough-hewn walls and the occasional tenacious patch of garden.
