welcome to
calderdale

Located in West Yorkshire, Calderdale is the southernmost of the Yorkshire Dales and part of the beautiful South Pennines area of river valleys, moorland and hill country. Whilst not as well-known as its Northern neighbours, as it doesn’t fall within the boundaries of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Calderdale has a tremendous amount to offer you, time after time. Few locations offer this blend of beauty and history in such a small place. Our location in Pennine Yorkshire gives us the wonderful rivers, hills, valleys, and moorland, but Calderdale is much more than beauty and great views.
