Map of the UK

Luddendenfoot is a compact, steep-sided valley ward in Calderdale, straddling the confluence of the Luddenden Brook with the River Calder. The area is marked by Victorian mill buildings, stone terraces and narrow lanes carved into the Pennine foothills, reflecting its 19th-century textile heritage; the village of Luddenden sits within the ward and the surrounding landscape gives a strong sense of place typical of the Calder Valley.

Today the ward is a mix of semi-rural communities and commuter households, with people travelling to nearby centres such as Halifax, Hebden Bridge and Mytholmroyd. Local life centres on small businesses, community groups and outdoor pursuits - walking and cycling in the nearby Pennines are popular - while the neighbourhood has also experienced the practical challenges of living in a river valley, including the effects of periodic flooding.
