With fabulous views and a cosy inviting bar The New Hobbit is the perfect Yorkshire inn for a lovely country night away. Their atmospheric bar is full of warmth and laughter, while their bustling restaurant serves an extensive menu of pub classics and guests love the popular Sunday carvery. The bar and restaurant also make the most of the location offering stunning views out above Sowerby Bridge and the local moors.
With a rich history dating back to the 1900’s, after a modern refurbishment The New Hobbit now offers guests bed and breakfast accommodation with 30 rooms. Their vintage style modern bedrooms have been designed with your comfort in mind, some with seating areas and separate dressing rooms. Continuing the country theme of their ‘log wall’ within the pub, each bedroom has a console table masterfully cut from the trunk of a tree. Each room has been superbly decorated to the highest standard with five star quality beds dressed with sumptuous duvets, wool throws and soft white towels.
Two rivers and two canals form the heart of this fascinating mill town. From the Middle Ages and possibly as far back as the Roman occupation, Sowerby Bridge was an important crossing over the Ryburn and Calder rivers. Industrial growth meant the development of transport here was rapid. In 1735 one of the oldest turnpike roads in Britain was completed, whilst in 1757 John Smeaton, the Eddystone Lighthouse designer, surveyed the development of an early “navigation” (part river, part canal), the Calder and Hebble, which was eventually built in 1770. Add to this the most successful trans-Pennine canal, the Rochdale (1804) which is home to Tuel Lock, the deepest in the country.
