It is worth buying the cheap Trail Guide from the TIC in Hebden Bridge before you go. For such a tiny village it's full of history, sights including:
Two churches - in the same churchyard, which is very rare in the UK. Also in the churchyard is the grave of 'King' David Hartley. He was hanged at York for coin clipping.
A more recent grave is that of the poet, Sylvia Plath.
Heptonstall Museum - tiny but well worth seeing for the exhibition of the Yorkshire Coiners (the coin clippers) in a building that was once a school.
Early Methodist church - the oldest in England to have been in continual use.
Last handloom worker's cottage
Piece Hall - where pieces of cloth made under the domestic system were exhibited and sold.
Weavers' Square - where different types of Yorkshire road services can be seen and compared.
