In the county of West Yorkshire, the borough of Calderdale is fast becoming a very popular place for people to set up home because of opportunities there and because of its unique position geographically for links to neighbouring towns and cities such as Halifax and Leeds. Calderdale itself is relatively new having been formed in 1974 and has a relatively small population of just 200, 100 people.

That the area is a beautiful and scenic place is no surprise really when you consider that it is in the heart of the Yorkshire Pennines. There are many traditional rural, hill and water-based activities to do in your spare time including various arts, crafts and sports festivals, kayaking. You can also take in the action of the Tour De Yorkshire as it passes through Calderdale and visit the spectacular Castle Carr fountains.

If shopping is more your thing, then don't worry as neighbouring Halifax has plenty to feed your fix - including one of the last family-run department stores in the country: Harvey's.

From a work point of view, many of the modern workplaces in the area have been established in faithfully restored and renovated historic mills and similar buildings. If you are experienced in the finance, engineering and manufacturing industries you should find Calderdale a very good base to encounter fellow coworkers and positions in.
