We visited the Emmott Arms on our third wedding anniversary after quite a few people recommended it to us. The staff were great. The were welcoming and friendly. The bar was well stock with some well kept real ales. We tried the Nayors Blonde and it was very good. The menu was just the right size with a few specials on offer. Our meal was fantastic. I had belly pork and it was some of the best I've had and my wife had pie which was fantastic. We will definitely be back again and will recommend to others.

Whilst being compact and boutique a fine array of some 66 teas are available to enjoy.

In numbers. The Titanic hit the iceburg at 11.40 on April 14 and sank at 2.20 on April 15 1912. Wallace Hartley went down playing. Possbly 'Nearer my God to thee' , possibly 'Autumn' which was a favourite. He was found having drowned still clutching his violin case. The violin was a gift from his fiancé. She got it back when they bought him home. She never married. Some 40.000 came to show their respects. The graveyard is full of magnificent monuments and a number Of Hartleys are buried there, including his Parents. It's on a lovely hillside. Very special.
4. Wycoller Village & Country Park

Has ruins of Wycoller Hall and old bridges across the beck which may be 1000 years od. The village has been restored and is between Colne and Haworth and the Hall is thought to feature as Ferndean Manor in Jane Eyre.

Wycoller is a great place for all ages to visit. I've been coming here for more than 60 years, first as a child when it was uninhabited and deserted. Now the cottages in the hamlet have been restored. The old hall remains a ruin but can been entered to see its features like the great old fireplace. Three ancient bridges span the stream making for a very picturesque setting. There is a small duck pond with some picnic tables by it. A small cafe and shop sells snacks and light meals. A popular walk is to follow the stream up the Dene with many footpaths to take in the surrounding beautiful countryside, where ancient vaccary walls stand. Fairy doors can be found on several trees, which my grandchildren enjoy finding. There is a little bit of information in the old barn. Suitable for visiting in every season. Parking is about half a mile before entering Wycoller, although disabled parking is allowed in the limited space in the hamlet.

Not the nearest place for me to go to, although it is right at the eastern end of the M65 and easy to get to. However, there is a vast range of clothing ( far more for women than for men) together with shoes, bedding, books, household goods, luggage, M&S outlet - all you could want, and all under one roof. Excellent coffee shop upstairs and the Benny's Fish & Chip Restaurant actually does gluten free fish & chips - a real bonus for me. Clothing is 'last years styles' - which is meaningless nonsense as clothes are clothes. The store is very large, as is the carpark, but when there is a sale on it can get very busy. Would recommend being on their mailing list as you get an extra 10% off in the sales and a free tea/coffee whenever you visit.

Fascinating structure. Story behind it and others very interesting. Shame it had lost the inner ball. Online photos of it all new/intact are worth searching out online. Parking at it easy. Pull in off road. The views from inside it over the hills and dales are impressive.
