Calderdale Heritage Walks are an organisation dedicated to offering the public a year-round programme of walks throughout Calderdale linked to the history and heritage of this rather special area. The majority of walks are centred on the towns and villages, but some have a more rural feel and explore the old lanes, paths and settlements of our extensive countryside.
The standard walks last 2 to 2¼ hours, and are fairly easy walking.’Extended’ walks last 2½ to 3 hours and some of those use rural paths and are harder walking. Most start points are accessible by public transport and our standard walks always go ahead, whatever the weather. The charge for almost all walks is £3 (for all ages).
