Todmorden sits in the steep-sided Upper Calder Valley within Calderdale, where the River Calder and the old Rochdale Canal thread through stone-built streets and former mill sites; the town straddles the historic boundary between Yorkshire and Lancashire and is overlooked by the landmark Stoodley Pike and the wooded valley of Hardcastle Crags.
Once a 19th-century textile town, its Victorian mills and terraces have given way to a mixed economy of small creative businesses, tourism and commuters to Leeds and Manchester; socially it punches above its weight thanks to strong community activism and initiatives such as the town’s famous food‑growing project and lively markets and arts events.
