Silsden is a small market town in the metropolitan district of Bradford, in West Yorkshire, England, lying in the Aire valley between Keighley and Skipton on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales. Its riverside setting and 19th‑century railway and mill development left a compact townscape of stone terraces and former mill buildings that reflect a long textile and engineering heritage.
Today Silsden mixes local manufacturing and independent shops with a sizeable commuter population travelling to Bradford and Leeds. The town has an active community life - sports clubs, annual events and easy access to walking and cycling into the nearby Dales make it popular with people wanting quick links to the city and the countryside.
