Whenever I see you walking/cycling off in to the distance I always picture you having to turn around after to retrieve your camera! 😂 Very dedicated Kieran. Love it.
Good video Kieron, Hebden got famous and popular because of a advert for the new town of Milton Keynes. The advert showed a picture of the brand new sparkling Milton Keynes and said why don't you come and live here, or you could live in this run down mill town of Hebden, with a picture showing an old derelict factory, taken in the rain. People started to look at Hebden and the house prices and they packed their pink pants and flowery shirts and moved up north.
Great vid as per Kieran...particularly the dropped comment of 'Sticky Vicky'...haha! Try explaining that to your American viewers. That one must have been some Bimble!!
Awesome Bimble. Always loved the look of that part of england. Juliet Bravo of th eighties filmed in these locations on occasions. Worked with a lad from toddy years ago. Also shed your tears and walk away was filmed here. A rather deppressing documentary about drink/drugs and suicide. 🚲🍮
Great Bimble Kieron, My good friend and meself have been Bimbling for many years, one day in the week we would choose somewhere interesting to go by public transport and visit! we have been to Hebden Bridge , Howarth ( Kighley and Worth Valley Railway ) and Todmorden, interesting thing about Tod is that it used to be half in Yorkshire and half in Lancashire, I believe the Boundary used to go through the centre of the Town Hall! I often wondered in the past if it caused problems for the different county authorities! still Yorkshire eventuall claimed all of it..
Omg the cat at 15:25, I would have spent all day with it. Nice Bimble buddy, I'm from local Burnley/Accrington. Always loved spending time in Tod/Hebden. Give me a shout if you're closer to Accrington and want some help/behind the scenes/drone footage or just a pint.
If you enjoy a pint try the Fox and Goose, a community pub noted for its pristine ales, situated at the junction of the A646 (King Street) and Heptonstall Road. Just up the road to Heptonstall is (what was) a council estate built just after Word War 2. The houses were built from stone reclaimed from the Duke of Bridgewater's Worsley New Hall. Regards.
Loved the video Kieran, don't know if you watched the Gallows Pole on BBC, this was about the Cragg Vale coiners. Their leader David Hartley was hung at the Tyburn in York and his body was buried in the original St Thomas's grave yard, not alot of people know that :).
Came from Warrington it involved 6 trains and a 12 hour day and 47 miles but loved every moment Kieran. The great thing about these rides is that the canals are always in very close proximity to the railway stations. Every train was on time.
What a great video as a first time viewer of yours i really enjoyed it ,ive walked up from Hebden bridge up to Heptonstall no easy task as i remember .But well worth it as you showed what an interesting place it is thanks.
Hi Kieran...didn't know you liked poetry. Here is a poem what I wrote to explain my name.....hope you appreciate it... "Viaductophile" I'm a chronic viaductophile. I just can't get enough of that feeling, When i see a gulf spanned with brutal elegance, Embankment as foreplay, Enmeshed in the dance of the landscape, Created to carry the weight of the world wherever it needs to go, Passengers and freight, And post that cannot wait, So span the river, Cross the gorge, The iron works, the mine, the forge need linking to the town, And railways can't go up and down too well, you see, So now my Higher Power is Brunel! And I dribble at the Ribblehead and swoon at Miller's Dale, Sankey Valley gets me all worked up and the Forth Bridge cannot fail To drop the jaw, In deepest awe..... They just don't make 'em like that anymore! So now my browsing history is littered with bridges and tunnels and cuts, I need to put it all in perspective..... I know I'm a viaductophile,but, If this isn't love Why does it feel so good?
Another great video Kieran full of your usual facts and info. A long one too, especially the climb up to Heptonstall. Bet the pint tasted good at the end. 🙂I look forward to the next one, good luck. (Al Kennett)
Sorry but some of your info is wrong. The Highest ,longest and deepest canal tunnel in England is the Standege tunnel on the Huddersfield narrow canal, other than that a very informative video 👏👏👏
Great Bimble yet again Our Keiron . Always wondered why i have never been invited to a dance night in Hebdon Bridge . Now I know . Wrong type of tackle .
Sylvia and Ted were going to make a go of it, but Sylvia found out that the woman Ted had adultery with was pregnant, that’s why she killed herself. The woman Ted had got pregnant killed herself and their child four years later. Ted and Sylvia’s son killed himself ad an adult in America. I believe Sylvia suffered with S.H.I.T ..Severe Hormonal Incapacitating Turmoil ..it’s very common and takes women and girls lives who suffer with it 💔
You missed King David’s grave too..the coiner who almost brought the entire currency to a stand still with his counterfeit coins ..he was hanged for it.
Not sure about the nonsensical apparent route around Heptonstall, or the old church being "just around the corner" when the two churches share the same graveyard. Should also mention that you captured the grave of Les Prior, who was the front man of Alberto Y Los Trios Paranoias, and a friend of mine.
I'm not sure what you were expecting from me saying "just around the corner". From where I was stood in front of the new church the old church is around the corner. I literally walked around the corner on film.
@@BimblismUK Errmm, you filmed a shot of St. Thomas the Apostle from the northern side, which means that St. Thomas a'Beckett (the old church, and still consecrated) was directly behind you. It doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to move away from the old church and then present reaching it as requiring a (short) journey. I do appreciate your editing the video to perhaps make it more visually appealing, but the route you appear to take is utter nonsense to anyone who knows Heptonstall well.
@@Kevin-mx1vi......thanks for watching Kevin. I made a video to entertain people. I think you would enjoy a map or an aerial photo rather than a video. :)
@@BimblismUK Oh, it's definitely entertaining - full marks for that - but it will be watched by people who know Heptonstall and they'll smirk. I don't need a map - I was born and raised there. I know every nook and cranny, every stone and every tree, and sadly, far too many of those in the graveyard.
I loved it brilliant Bimble

Love the sound of your boots. Great cycling to Hebden Bridge it’s a great day out thank you for your video💯💯💯👏👏👏👏

Always look forward to your videos. Saddo that I am - I try to follow the route on Google maps.
Open Street Maps in cycle mode. Top tip. :)
Well deserved pint fella ... Great Bimble !!
Cheers John :)
Another top Bimble Kieran
Loved the Sticky Vicky mention .
Some way up them cobbles ,glad I didn’t have a paper round there.😀
With me writing poetry I appreciated the last part, being a huge fan of Hughes and Plath. Thanks mate 🤘
Great Bimble Kieron. Enjoy the Guinness, my tipple too 😄
Another great bimble Kieran thank you!
Lived there in the fifties and sixties, visit once a year to relive old memories
Brilliant video Kieran thanks for sharing take care
Thanks for this video, missing calderdale, and its keeping my memories alive.

I'll give it a look. :)
@@BimblismUK aww! Night feeds eh?🍼🍼🍼
Another great informative video. 👍 Thank you.
My pleasure! :)

I'll be back up their soonish to do Halifax, Brighouse and Hudderfield. :)
Hello Bimble!
Love this and I love the music too, I live on a narrowboat and I hope to say hello one day😊
No doubt. Canals are my favourite cycleways. :)

Great video Kieran. My Aunty used to live in Hebden Bridgge, I have many happy memories of the place. All the best from NZ
Great bimble, there's lots to discover in Yorkshire!

Did this route the other week on my bike, went from Marsden to Huddersfield then on to Halifax and back up the canal to Littleborough.
It's one of my favourites :)
Came from Warrington it involved 6 trains and a 12 hour day and 47 miles but loved every moment Kieran. The great thing about these rides is that the canals are always in very close proximity to the railway stations. Every train was on time.
@@michaelheaton2604 Perfect if you get a puncture. :)

Hi Kieran...didn't know you liked poetry. Here is a poem what I wrote to explain my name.....hope you appreciate it...
"Viaductophile"
I'm a chronic viaductophile.
I just can't get enough of that feeling,
When i see a gulf spanned with brutal elegance,
Embankment as foreplay,
Enmeshed in the dance of the landscape,
Created to carry the weight of the world wherever it needs to go,
Passengers and freight,
And post that cannot wait,
So span the river,
Cross the gorge,
The iron works, the mine, the forge need linking to the town,
And railways can't go up and down too well, you see,
So now my Higher Power is Brunel!
And I dribble at the Ribblehead and swoon at Miller's Dale,
Sankey Valley gets me all worked up and the Forth Bridge cannot fail
To drop the jaw,
In deepest awe.....
They just don't make 'em like that anymore!
So now my browsing history is littered with bridges and tunnels and cuts,
I need to put it all in perspective.....
I know I'm a viaductophile,but,
If this isn't love
Why does it feel so good?
Super comment/poem. :)

Cool footage. How did you get the cycling footage to be so steady?
Sorry but some of your info is wrong. The Highest ,longest and deepest canal tunnel in England is the Standege tunnel on the Huddersfield narrow canal, other than that a very informative video 👏👏👏
Great Bimble yet again Our Keiron . Always wondered why i have never been invited to a dance night in Hebdon Bridge . Now I know . Wrong type of tackle .
Haha. :)
Hebden Bridge has the most lesbians? Well, you can't lick
that for a day out.
Sorry the Rochdale is not the highest (Huddersfield Narrow)
You're right its just the higest broad canal. Well spotted. :)
Sorry I missed you - I was in that section of canal at about the time you were there
I prefer Tod.
Sylvia and Ted were going to make a go of it, but Sylvia found out that the woman Ted had adultery with was pregnant, that’s why she killed herself.

'the percentage of Lesbians is a lot lower' is some serious research 🙂
