The
Upper Calder Valley lies in
West Yorkshire in northern
England, and covers the towns of
Todmorden,
Hebden Bridge,
Mytholmroyd,
Luddendenfoot, and
Sowerby Bridge, as well as a number of smaller settlements such as Portsmouth,
Cornholme,
Walsden and
Eastwood. The valley is the upper valley of the
River Calder. Major tributaries of the Upper Calder include the Walsden Water, which flows through the large village of Walsden to join the Calder at Todmorden; the Hebden Water, which flows through Hebden Dale to join the Calder at Hebden Bridge; and Cragg Brook, which flows through
Cragg Vale to join the Calder at Mytholmroyd.
