welcome to
calderdale

Located in West Yorkshire, Calderdale is the southernmost of the Yorkshire Dales and has a tremendous amount to offer you, time after time. Few locations offer such a blend of buzz, beauty and heritage. Enjoy high endurance outdoor activities such as mountain biking, or slow the pace down and take in the breath-taking views of our wonderful valleys, hills, moorland and waterways, linked by excellent walking, cycling and riding routes.

 

Our mix of heritage and culture shines through our historic buildings. Be sure to experience the live music and boutique shopping at The Piece Hall, see Anne ‘Gentleman Jack’ Lister’s home at Shibden Hall, or scale the heights of Wainhouse Tower, the tallest folly in world. Enjoy your days here with independent shopping in our well-connected historic market towns such as Hebden Bridge, home to Happy Valley and Halifax with its secret ‘Streets in the Sky’. Or why not indulge yourself and savour some fine dining, international food and hearty, traditional menus at our award-winning restaurants, inns, bars and tearooms.

 

You’ve seen our beautiful landscape on TV, in Gentleman Jack, Riot Women, Marvel’s Secret Invasion, Ackley Bridge and Last Tango in Halifax now it is time for you to experience it for real. What are you waiting for – Visit Calderdale!
