Illingworth West Yorkshire Map

About Illingworth

Illingworth surveys the undulating Yorkshire landscape with a quiet dignity. It lies 4.2 km north-north-west of Halifax (from Halifax: bearing 338°T, OS grid SE 077 290), and is situated west-north-west of Catherine Slack village. The broad sweep of the moors, a gentle, heather-clad presence on the horizon, lends a certain spaciousness to the air that settles over Illingworth, a feeling as if the sky itself has more room to breathe here. Though its origins are rooted in the agricultural rhythms of the Calder Valley, the echoes of former quarrying operations can still be discerned in the weathered stone of older buildings, their surfaces catching the soft, diffused light of the north. A particular beauty resides in the way the late afternoon sun, when it breaks through the cloud, can paint the clustered rooftops in hues of ochre and umber, a fleeting warmth against the ever-present green.
