The Calder Divide Trail is a long distance circular route across 12 valleys, 6 moors and 1 floodplain in West Yorkshire. It is a multi-day adventure along the watershed of the River Calder.
From ancient bridleways across the Pennine moors to new gravel paths in the Southern Washlands and on through the center of small towns like Hebden Bridge and Marsden this is an epic trail through a diverse and stunning landscape.
The Trail
From gravel tracks to cobbled lanes, over moorland singletrack and along the urban fringe, this northern landscape has it all.

The words ‘divide’ and ‘trail’ conjure up images of a narrow path on an exposed mountain ridge with views stretching out in all directions. The Calder Divide Trail is set amongst the South Pennine moors and valleys. There are no mountain peaks or broad forests but we do have mile after mile of bridleways, causeways and greenways set between “the green moss and the purple heather”.
