What to do on a family or couple's hot tub break in Oldfield
Oldfield itself maintains a quiet village atmosphere but you're never far from action. The surrounding Calderdale landscape shaped the Industrial Revolution and today those mill towns have transformed into cultural hubs packed with independent shops and cafes.
This makes it ideal for hot tub stays where you want daytime adventures followed by evening relaxation. The variety of activities means you can fill a long weekend or book for 1 night and still see plenty. Dog friendly options abound too since the Pennine moorland welcomes pets.

Top 5 attractions you have to see in Oldfield
From industrial heritage to natural beauty, the attractions near Oldfield cater to all interests. We've picked five that really capture what makes this corner of West Yorkshire special.
Shibden Hall
This half-timbered manor house dates back to 1420 and gained fame through the BBC series Gentleman Jack. The hall tells the story of Anne Lister and her family across 600 years. The estate includes 90 acres of parkland with woodland walks and a boating lake perfect for families.
Hebden Bridge
Just a short drive away, this former mill town has reinvented itself as an arts and alternative culture hub. The steep valley sides forced builders to create unusual double-decker houses. You'll find vintage shops, galleries and excellent cafes lining the cobbled streets. The Rochdale Canal towpath offers level walking with dogs.
Hardcastle Crags
This National Trust woodland covers 400 acres of ancient forest in a dramatic valley. Gibson Mill sits at the heart of the site, a restored cotton mill now running on renewable energy. The network of paths suits all abilities and the tumbling streams create a magical atmosphere whatever the season.
Piece Hall Halifax
Built in 1779 as a cloth trading centre, this Grade I listed building is the only surviving example of its kind. The courtyard now hosts independent retailers, restaurants and regular markets. The architecture alone justifies a visit and it's one of the best places to stay nearby for shopping and dining.
Stoodley Pike Monument
This 120-foot tower crowns the moorland ridge above the valley and serves as a landmark for miles around. The monument commemorates the defeat of Napoleon and offers panoramic views across three counties. The walk up from Hebden Bridge takes about an hour and rewards you with stunning Pennine vistas.
