We are taking a look at the beautiful towns and villages that we have here in Calderdale.

In this series we are shining a spotlight on different parts of our borough, continuing with Norland.

Norland is a small village located around two miles from Sowerby Bridge.

The village is known for its popular scarecrow festival that takes place in September.

The nearby Norland Moor is a popular walking spot with residents and visitors alike.

Its 250 acres of heather woodland features evidence of ancient use with a small number of standing stones, ditches and banks having been identified.

The village is known for its popular scarecrow festival that takes place in September.
