Lumb Bank is a writers' centre in a steep hillside setting above the Calder Valley. The house is associated with Ted Hughes, and today it is best known as a retreat and course venue for writers rather than a conventional visitor attraction.
For most travellers it is a point of interest on a walk rather than a place to tour. Still, it adds another layer to Hebden Bridge's literary and artistic reputation, especially when paired with Heptonstall.
