Map of the UK

Hebden Royd sits in the steep-sided valley of the River Calder in Calderdale, West Yorkshire, England, and includes the market towns of Hebden Bridge and Mytholmroyd together with smaller settlements such as Cragg Vale. The parish is framed by moorland of the Pennines and is known for prominent landmarks and walking country like Stoodley Pike and Hardcastle Crags, while the Rochdale Canal threads through the valley’s industrial terraces and bridges.

Its industrial past of textile mills has been adapted into workshops, galleries and independent businesses, giving Hebden Bridge in particular a strong creative and community character with regular festivals and a busy independent retail scene. The area is also shaped by recurring flooding in recent decades, which has fostered notable local resilience and activism; today the economy mixes tourism, creative industries and local services with many residents commuting to larger towns.
