The Team is delighted to announce that esteemed Canadian walking tour “Morag Walks” has chosen Walshaw Lodge as one of its venues in 2011. “Morag Walks” guides its guests around the Hebden Bridge countryside, a part of England that few tourists would otherwise get to visit. Its proprietor, Susan Butterfield, was born and raised in Hebden Bridge, before emigrating with her parents to Canada. She coined the name “Morag Walks” in honour of her favourite walking companion, a border collie called Morag.

“I am delighted to be working with Walshaw Lodge in 2011,” says Susan. “It is perfectly located to explore some of the most beautiful walks in all of the Yorkshire countryside. On top of that its a wonderful place to stay; so much character, offering so much comfort.”

More information on Morag Walks can be found at www.moragwalks.com. Walking tours are only one of many activities planned for 2010 and 2011 at Walshaw Lodge. Guests can look forward to participating in bridge tournaments, writing workshops, murder mysteries and yoga retreats.
