The Old Shuttleworks is situated in the beautiful West Yorkshire Village of Oakworth; surrounded by rolling hills and lush greenery, it is a haven for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

Just half a mile from the famous Oakworth Station on The Keighley and Worth Valley Steam Railway Line, where much of the classic film The Railway Children was filmed. Oakworth offers a unique blend of rural tranquility and cultural heritage. This walkers paradise offers miles of public footpaths, the most famous of which is the Brontë Way, taking visitors over the Brontë Bridge and out onto the bleak moorland to Top Withins. Stunning scenery surrounds this traditional West Yorkshire village with the bleak but beautiful moors, that provided the inspiration behind much of the Brontë Sisters writing.

Hawortheen is on at the end of October and with Steampunk and the switching on of the Christmas lights in November, you really are spoilt for choice all year round!
