Happy birthday, Mr Wainhouse 🎂
These photos are from my May ascent, a gloriously clear day that showed off Calderdale’s valleys.

369 steps, proper graft and unbeatable views.

Built in 1875, supposedly out of spite… still standing tall 150 years later.

#WainhouseTower #HalifaxUK #Calderdale
View from the top of Wainhouse Tower looking out over Calderdale on a bright, clear day. The silhouette of the stone balustrade frames the countryside below. Plaque inside Wainhouse Tower showing a step count (325/369) and a quote from 1893 describing Wainhouse as “a man of his own mind” who “refused to become a slave to anyone.” Expansive view of the Calder Valley from Wainhouse Tower, with rolling hills, fields, trees, and houses. Looking down from Wainhouse Tower onto a row of terraced houses nestled in the green valley below.

A peaceful wander across the tops of Norland Moor this weekend. The heather is in full bloom, and even the late summer sun made an appearance. 💜

Where's your favourite spot to see the heather at its best?

#Yorkshire #Calderdale #GetOutside #WestYorkshire
Rocky outcrop on Norland Moor with purple heather in bloom along the cliffs and greenery growing in the hollow below, under a partly cloudy sky. Heather-covered moor with a narrow path leading through, trees on the side, and the tall Wainhouse Tower visible on the horizon. Rolling moorland covered in blooming heather, stretching toward a distant valley and hills beneath a bright but cloudy late summer sky. Purple heather in the foreground with a sweeping view of green fields, trees, and hills across Calderdale under a soft sky.

Happy Friday! This weekend we're planning a hike up Norland Moor to catch the heather in bloom. Hoping to see what Sylvia Plath captured so perfectly: "dark hills of heather stretching toward the horizon" Hopefully not so dark on this sunny Saturday though!
