Slack West Yorkshire Map

About Slack

Slack lies in the Calderdale district of West Yorkshire, a place where the land rolls with a certain quiet insistence. It lies 4.1 km south of Sowerby Bridge (from Sowerby Bridge: bearing 169°T, OS grid SE 050 192), and is situated south-west of Barkisland village. The hamlet breathes the cool air of higher ground, its houses gathered against the prevailing winds, their stone walls absorbing the soft, diffused light that often graces these Pennine slopes. You can feel the history here, not in grand pronouncements, but in the way the fields are parcelled, a testament to generations of careful husbandry. The surrounding moors, a rough tapestry of heather and bracken, offer a sense of spaciousness, a constant reminder of the wildness that lies just beyond the cultivated edges of Slack.
