If you want to stay at different places when you’re walking the Calderdale Way but don’t want to carry big bags with you we can help!
We offer a baggage transfer service for anyone doing the Calderdale way. We’ll collect any of your bags in the morning and take them to your next nights accommodation. This means you can walk with a day bag – definitely helpful with all the ups and downs on the route!
We work on the principle that most people will do the walk in five days, so our pricing covers up to five pick-up-and-drop-offs per booking. We’re flexible in terms of itinerary, so it doesn’t matter to us where you start and finish each day. We’ll collect bags by 11AM every morning (bags need to be ready for collection by 9AM), and deliver them by 3PM every day – please make sure your accommodation provider is OK with that (particularly AirB&Bs) and has somewhere safe to leave bags for collection and drop off that we will be able to access.
We don’t charge by person or by bag. Instead we charge £100 per transfer package, maximum of four bags with a maximum weight for each bag of 20kg. If you want additional bags or additional days, we can do that – both at an additional £25 each per bag/day per booking.
From my initial enquiry about baggage transfer, to dropping us and our bags off at the car, Rake Hey Farm were hugely helpful. They went out of their way to get our bags to the right places, despite my making an address error. They also offered us a lift when we were going to take the train to our accommodation. Because we travelled to the start and finish on walking days, I thought handing over bags would be difficult, but Rake Hey Farm offered to meet us at the appropriate time to collect the bags from us. In summary, Rake Hey farm were considerate, accommodating, and went out of their way to be helpful at all times. Thank you, from all four of us. Sally Goodall (September 2025)
