Looking down The Buttress, Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, England
Looking down The Buttress, Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, England

Running late again I came rattling down here at some speed, trying not to slip on early fallen leaves laying on the uneven stone setts.
This is the lower part of the old packhorse route between the town of Hebden Bridge and the village of Heptonstall with its rows of handloom weavers houses. It is very steep, which annoyingly doesn't really show in the image and is the setting for a very short but brutal cycle race. There are good photos of the race and the steepness at

The Buttress doesn't go all the way up to Heptonstall and the route needs much better signage.
If walking up from Hebden Bridge this section ends on a road with no other directions. Turn right (I think it's slightly downhill which is counter-intuitive) and after about 100 yards there is a footpath sign and a long - and even steeper path of steps - through woodland that leads eventually to the Heptonstall Road itself where you turn right and continue uphill for about quarter of a mile.
