Old Town West Yorkshire Map

About Old Town

Old Town exhales a quiet dignity, a scatter of stone dwellings and farms breathing the high air of Calderdale. It lies 1.6 km north-north-east of Hebden Bridge (from Hebden Bridge: bearing 23°T, OS grid SD 997 286), and is situated south-south-east of Pecket Well village. The landscape here, a generous sweep of moorland, often catches the light with a startling clarity, turning the rougher grasses and the stoic stone walls into something akin to burnished bronze. Ancient tracks, worn smooth by generations of footsteps and hooves, still thread through the fields, hinting at a past when this was a vital crossroads rather than a tranquil retreat. The very air seems to carry the faint, earthy scent of peat and damp wool, a reminder of the rural industries that once sustained this place. Even the silence in Old Town feels substantial, punctuated only by the bleating of sheep or the distant call of a curlew.
