They served undercooked scones, twice. As in not just a bit, but inedible. The middle was completely raw dough, the rest was undercooked dough, and the outside was overcooked brown dry burnt dough.The oven was obviously on far too high a temperature and the cooking time was too short. Resulting in completely ruined scones.They did refund me and replace the scone for me which ?was properly cooked?; except it too was not, it was simply smaller and thus a bit less completely raw in the middle. I don?t think the staff know what a scone is supposed to be like, unless raw/burnt scones are some sort of Yorkshire delicacy?Don?t order a scone here.

Fantastic walk through woods to get to quaint Mill and tea rooms. Mill was currently closed for renovation but cafe was open. Cafe was lovely. Good range of sandwiches and snacks. Dogs welcome. Lots of walkers. The stream was high and very dramatic . Absolutely beautiful and so quiet. Car park staff were lovely. Very helpful. Take cards but connection was quite slow. Nice wide path from car park to Mill. Gravel covered so very stable to walk on. Was approx 8,000 steps there and back.Definitely recommend

Gibson Mill is a true hidden treasure! This historic water-powered cotton mill turned eco-friendly visitor center is a must-visit. The setting amidst the woodlands and next to the serene Hebden Beck is simply enchanting. It's a fantastic spot for both learning about the area's history and enjoying nature. The well-maintained trails and the informative displays inside make it an engaging experience for all ages. I highly recommend a visit to Gibson Mill!

If you've never been before, I suggest you wear sturdy shoes that support your feet and ankles.We took the short, easy terrain, walk due to me having difficulty walking.I also suggest you take your own food with you, as the food isn't cheap. £4.50 for a small but delicious and well filled sausage roll. Payment is by card only.Next to the cafe, outside, there is a toilet for the disabled. Make sure you have your 'Radar' key with you.The toilets are non flushing, a bit like the toilet in a portacabin. There is a notice telling you how to use it.Dogs are welcome. There were plenty there for me to say hello to, and they were all well behaved.

We usually walk through Hardcastle Cragg to get to this place. It's great to walk round, especially when the leaves on trees are turning colour st the beginning of autumn. Pictures were taken on various visits

A nice little cafe nestled in the woods. I suggest walking along the river rather than the road as its much nicer, however I would bring some shoes you don't mind getting a little muddy. A great place to bring kids for a nice walk and a place to paddle for kids. It is a long way if you are disabled but there are a couple of parking spaces so you can drive. The Ice-cream from the cafe is really good and seating in and outside.I go here a lot with my 2 year old, and we really enjoy seeing squirrels and anything else we can see.

Walking from Hebden Bridge, there is a nice circular walk up to Gibson Mill. Alternatively, there are 2 smallish car parks at the gates to the National Trust managed site that are accessed by small roads that can get 'blocked up' easily on approach. Gibson Mill itself, is a reached by then walking approx 1 mile via either a river side path or a dirt, vehicle track or a higher elevation path through the woods (the least walked!). Which ever option you take, we took the river side path outwards and the high elevation path back, the destination is often the historic mill. Some people go beyond the Mill to 'the crags' or further on the Blake Dean, where the path loops round a returns to the Mill. The Mill itself, acts as both a museum and cafe. The cafe offers typical, limited drinks and food. Many people seemed to take their own picnic and eat this on the grassy patches by the river. Toilets are available at both near the car park and at the Mill.

Hardcastle craggs yet another amazing place, down side carparking. Fell lucky but don't let that put you off. 2 lovely ladies will direct you to a car park and explain the easiest route back. Please go and enjoy. Sunny weather is a must. The views of the different colour and shades through the ? trees. Go to the mill and enjoy a drink. Ice cream or sandwich, downside waiting the young people don't move very fast. 15 mins in a queue isn't ideal then serving 2 icecream, when you're eager to explore or you have young ones. If like my kids, they won't drink any fizzy drinks, so take some with you. Very limited and expensive. Enjoy guys, please have a great day. Best wishes from a walker. Try Victoria falls, Malham Cove, mother Shipton. Or all the walks around the great Yorkshire Dale.

This was a great walk, although we struggled for parking space.Nice wooded walk not too steep we took the road option due to having a pushchair. There is another route along the river.The signpost days 1 mile to mill. This is inaccurate, our walk was 4 miles there and back.Nice cafe at mill serving a range of hot and cold drinks and snacks.There is also a second hand book stall.Good walk but be prepared to fight for a parking space.

Gibson Mill in the heart of National Trust's Hardcastle Crags is such a beautiful place for a wedding. As The Little Photo Firm, we've been lucky enough to take photos at two weddings at the mill in 2022. The ceremonies were held on the 1st floor of the mill, which is flooded in natural light through the large traditional windows. The polished wooden floor and steel ceiling supports help to create a lovely ceremony space with a natural aisle for an elegant entrance. The room can be transformed ready for a sit down meal, with banquet style tables and top table for the wedding party. The second floor is perfect for evening celebrations with catering and bar services supplied by Hebden Craft catering. It's a beautiful place for a wedding and we were lucky enough to be able to take photos at a spring wedding, with gorgeous bluebells scattered through the woodland, and in the summer, when the drinks receptions can be held in the little field just over the bridge from the mill. The exterior of the mill is just beautiful. The mill pond is the perfect place for whole-group photos and the little bridge is a great location for a confetti throw. If the weather isn't ideal then the main stairwell inside the mill is excellent for a confetti throw too.

Beautiful nature surroundings. Fabulous place to walk & be close to nature. Its total soul rejuvination. At the end of the long walk the picturesque mill cafe is a welcome relief. A charming quaint place with a small fascinating book shop. The cafe has a small outside seating area overlooking a picturesque bridge a great place to relax with bird song & the sound of water. The cafe staff were very professional & incredibly helpful with a great smile. The home baked cakes & coffee were delicious. Indoor seating area is provided too. A lovely place to visit with the family. Dog owners were around too & there are clean toilet facilites available. The daffodils were a pretty sight to see at this time of the year. The wild garlic & blue bells were covering the ground. I look forward to visiting again to enjoy the display of color. There are two car parks provided with a £5 charge for parking. Good walking shoes are recommended as the path near the flowing water is muddy in places. A must visit 10/10

Always a pleasant time. Nice little cafe and beautiful scenery. If you're looking to burn some good calories with a pit stop at the cafe, then this place is a great day out.
