We book Blake Dean for Xmas camp each year, this was year 4, we take scouts and explorers Scouts in dorms and explorers in the grave yard. On the Saturday we hike from the hostel to Gibson mill, hard castle crag and over to widdop res. We cook a full Xmas dinner in the kitchen, the facilities are fab and the kitchen is great for big groups !! We have already booked for year 5 in 2026 and would recommend to any group Great for walking / hiking for anyone

Do you love nature and the beauty of natural England, Blakedean is perfect for you next adventure conveniently situated in the Pennine hills next to winding streams neighbouring NT hardcastle crags close to Hebden bridge, Todmorden and Burnley. This place is perfect for scouts, Guides and Duke of Edinburgh groups. The coatings are well places and offers great value for money. Highly recommend.

A good place to start a walk from, ideal if you a pushing a pram as the old Water Board roads take you right out onto the moors.

Picture perfect place to have your lunch after climbing out of the valley or scrambling down from the old rail line.

Nice little corner above Hebden Bridge. Nice trail in the gorge or up the cliff with view from here. Off season I think is best as less crowded and in autumn will shine with tons of colours

One of the best spots for a sunny day away from the busy towns could do more with more parking if anything maybe better sign postage for history and for walking/riding routes and picnic ares especially the old railway line that once ran to help build the reservoirs would have loved to have seen that in person would have been breathtaking
