Howarth

On Saturday made our way to Howarth. It snowed on Friday, so we didn't know for sure if we were going to be able to make it there, but we had heard that they have wonderful Christmas activities. After taking a train to Keighley, we took a steam train to Howarth. They were having some trouble with the train in front of us so we had to wait a bit for our train to leave. This allowed us time to have a cup of tea and explore the train and the train station. 

When we got to Howarth, I was surprised...I've never seen a village completely uphill. We walked ages uphill in the snow to get to the main street. The streets were cobblestone and very cute with all of the snow. The main street was filled with unique store and shops. There was a walking nativity that caroled all the way up the main street. Afterwards we ended up going to a pub and enjoyed warm food to help us warm our feet. We are really loving pub food, maybe it's the closest to American...I'm not sure. It was a very cold and exhausting, but fun day.
