Colden, West Yorkshire

Colden, West Yorkshire

Colden is a hamlet in the civil parish of Heptonstall in Calderdale, West Yorkshire, England. The hamlet consists of scattered houses and farms on high ground west of Heptonstall, above the valley of Colden Water.

Colden School is a junior and infants school established in 1878.[1]

Colden Water is crossed by two old footbridges, possibly dating from the 17th century. Strines Bridge is a packhorse bridge,[2] and lower down a clapper bridge crosses the stream.[3] Both are Grade II listed buildings.

The Pennine Way and Calderdale Way both pass through Colden.
