What to do at Hebden Hey

Hebden Hey is situated in the peaceful woodlands of Hardcastle Crags. The opportunities for walking, widegames and exploring are almost endless, however, for those who would like a few more ideas, we have available on-site and locally a variety of permanent facilities as well as others such as shooting and archery that can be "brought in" if prebooked.

Obstacle Course

Our permanent outdoor obstacle course is positioned behind and to the left of the wooden hut at the top of the car park. It has been built to allow visitors staying at the centre to play on the various obstacles individually, or with a little imagination a simple route between them can be arranged and even supplemented with some basic pioneering skills.

Traverse Wall

Positioned at the end of the obstacle course, this 8' high by 32' long traverse wall has a rubber crash-mat surface beneath it. There are three routes identified by different coloured blocks. Easy to get across for beginners, yet sufficiently challenging if you only use the gold coloured holds.

Campfire Area

The campfire area has sufficient raised seating for large groups both in the hostels and camping, there is space available surrounding it for open fire cooking during the daytime should you wish. We ask that you respect the adjacent trees and shrubs and find deadwood fuel elsewhere in our 37 acres!

Activities Field/Pioneering

The large grassed field next to the hostels is available for many activities, we only ask that no tents are pitched on this field, and you are aware of others using the area at the same time.

Souvenir & Tuck Shop

The shop can be opened by arrangement with the site warden or members of the service team, we stock a range of branded souvenirs as well as pop and sweets.
