Map of the UK

Erringden is a small, sparsely populated upland parish in Calderdale, West Yorkshire, England, sitting on the fringes of the South Pennines. The landscape is dominated by open moorland, rolling pastures and drystone walls, with scattered stone farmsteads and a network of footpaths and bridleways that attract walkers and birdwatchers seeking wide views and a quiet, rural feel.

Historically the area has been shaped by centuries of sheep farming and local quarrying, and you can still see traditional stone architecture and field patterns from that past. Economically it remains largely agricultural, supplemented by a handful of holiday lets and residents who commute to nearby towns, while the small community retains a close-knit, low‑key social life linked to the surrounding Calderdale valleys.
