I visited Holmfirth on 17-18 March (all the way from Seattle, WA) during my short trip to England. In honor of the one-year anniversary of my mother’s passing, I sprinkled a small amount of her ashes at “the bench.” I hired Mount Taxi company to drive me to a few of the locations on the 18th then on to Leeds to catch a train back to London. The driver was terrific! We chatted nonstop for 2 hours! Since the bench isn’t easily accessible by car, we parked where the dirt road became too rough then he walked with me to the bench. There were a couple of gentleman enjoying the view there when we arrived. My brief stay in Holmfirth was enough to know that I’d like to come back and stay longer. I stayed at the Old Bridge Inn and would probably stay there again. I have too many photos to post so I’m just including the ones from the bench. Rest assured I visited Compo’s and Nora’s places, stopped in for tea at Sid’s Cafe, and visited the graves of Bill and Peter. Thanks to @maltrab for the locations map and to everyone who chimed in on advice for my visit.
