Shibden valley

Shibden Valley is to the east of Halifax, West Yorkshire, England, where the community of Shibden lies. The name of the Shibden valley comes from "scepe dene" meaning "sheep valley". The area was heavily involved in wool production.

The Red Beck stream flows down the valley, joining the River Calder at Brookfoot.

Southowram stands on the southern side of the valley, and Northowram stands on the northern side of the valley
