Gibson Mill

Hardcastle Crags & Gibson Mill

Hardcastle Crags is one of those magic spots where history and nature intertwine effortlessly. This painting was inspired by a photograph I took on a walk through the wooded valley near Hebden Bridge, coming upon the historic Gibson Mill nestled beside the water.

I wanted to capture the quiet, timeless charm of the scene—the contrast of the historic stone building tucked into the lush green woodland canopy, and the gentle reflections resting on the millpond where people used to skate in winter!
