Man with a Van Heyshaw

Moving in Heyshaw: what to know first

Heyshaw is high on the moor edge, well above Dacre Banks on the river, and Heyshaw Road climbs again west of the houses. Dike Lane, the way in, rises steeply over the hill, and most farm drives are gravel or compacted tracks. There are only a couple of dozen buildings, so give the farm or house name with the postcode. For a winter move up here, keep a second date in mind in case the lanes are icy.

Heyshaw: the local picture

Heyshaw is farm country in Dacre parish, a parish of 764 people in 2011 whose biggest place is Dacre Banks on the river. The Nidderdale Way and the Six Dales Trail both pass through Heyshaw, Smelt Maria Dike runs nearby, and Jordan Hill is under a kilometre away.

The nearest listed buildings are about 800 metres away at Lane Foot: Lane Foot Cottage, a small early 18th century gritstone house with its barn, and the barn and byre at Lane Foot Farm, with a keystone dated 1759 over the cart entrance. A farmhouse or barn conversion up here may have a long yard or track, so tell us how far the door is from where Heyshaw Road ends.

How the van gets to Heyshaw

Heyshaw Road is an unclassified lane that becomes a service road near the houses, so the approach matters. From Bradford the van follows the B6451 past Darley and north along Mill Hurst, then takes Dike Lane for about a kilometre and a half and finishes on Heyshaw Road. Woodman Wray Lane is the other tarmac road nearby.

The drive from Bradford is roughly 50 to 60 minutes. That is an estimate, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
