Calder Valley
Extracted from the Wikipedia article River Calder, West Yorkshire.
The valley is generally known as the Calder Valley. Calderdale usually refers to the large urban and rural borough (centred on Halifax) through which the upper river flows. The lower reaches flow through the boroughs of Kirklees and Wakefield. The river does not flow through the centres of Halifax or Huddersfield, which are on the Calder's main tributaries, Hebble Brook and the River Colne respectively. The large town centres through which the Calder flows are Brighouse, Mirfield, Dewsbury and the city of Wakefield.
