Lumb Bank is an 18th century mill owner’s house which stands in twenty acres of steep woodland. The house once belonged to Ted Hughes and is set in a striking Pennine landscape of woods and rivers, fine stone houses and weavers’ cottages, packhorse trails and ruins of old mills. Lumb Bank is half a mile from the historic village of Heptonstall and one mile from Hebden Bridge.
Lumb Bank has fourteen single rooms and one shared room. The centre has 12 computers and two printers. The barn has an induction loop and the main work/living space is fully accessible. Lumb Bank is at the foot of a steep private lane and cars must be parked at the top of this hill. The centre can accommodate a personal assistant.
Hebden Bridge is on the Leeds to Manchester Victoria railway line (each two and a half hours from London) and, via York, is three and a half from Edinburgh. Lumb Bank is 10 minutes by taxi from Hebden Bridge rail station.
