Harden is a small village in the metropolitan district of Bradford, in West Yorkshire, England, sitting on the rural edge above the Aire valley. It lies a few miles from Bingley and Keighley and is within easy commuting distance of Leeds and Bradford, giving it a mix of village calm and access to larger towns.
Historically agricultural and expanded in the 19th century with textile-related buildings, Harden retains stone cottages and converted mill structures and has an active local community with village amenities. Its position beside moorland such as Harden Moor and nearby Pennine footpaths makes it popular with walkers and those seeking countryside recreation while staying close to urban services.
