A new film from Visit Calderdale offers insight into the beautiful scenery that can be found along the route
Many routes are easily accessible on public transport and new information boards now in place, or due to be installed at the following locations:
- Brighouse Railway Station.
- The Last Post pub, Ripponden.
- Withens Clough Reservoir car park
- Todmorden Railway Station.
- Heptonstall Parish Council noticeboard
- Midgehole Working Men’s Club.
- Mytholmroyd Railway Station.
- Jerusalem Farm car park.
- Mixenden Activity Centre (to be installed in November)
- Norwood Green village green (to be installed in November)
The boards show how the route can be broken down into sections and places of interest along the way. They also include a number of link routes, showing additional walks to connect with towns or attractions off the Calderdale Way, as well as nearby shorter circular routes to cater for all fitness levels and abilities.
To provide further inspiration, Visit Calderdale has created a five-day itinerary, including points of interest and hospitality businesses / facilities along the way. Head to The Calderdale Way | Visit Calderdale when planning your trip.
Calderdale Council has also been working with the local organisation Little Legs, to support the creation of numerous child-friendly walking routes across Calderdale, many of which are on or close to the Calderdale Way. Visit https://littlelegs.org/#walk to find out more.
The project has received funding from Active Calderdale, a Sport England place partner, with cooperation from the Community Rights of Way Service (CROWS) – a community group working to keep the local routes accessible and attractive, including keeping public footpaths clear for walkers in Calderdale.
