About

Colne Valley ward covers a large rural area in the southern part of the Kirklees district. It is characterised by moorland, reservoirs, and scattered villages like Marsden and Slaithwaite. The landscape is defined by the steep sides of the Pennine hills and the course of the River Colne, which gives the area its name. This geography has historically supported industries like wool milling and quarrying.

The ward contains a significant stretch of the Standedge Tunnel, the longest, deepest, and highest canal tunnel in the United Kingdom. The local economy now includes agriculture, tourism, and smaller manufacturing units. Transport links are provided by the Huddersfield Line railway and the A62 road, which follow the valley through the Pennines into Greater Manchester.
