About

Craven ward lies in the northeast of the Bradford district, encompassing several distinct villages and residential areas. The ward includes the communities of Denholme, Wilsden, and Harecroft, with a landscape characterised by green upland spaces and suburban housing. It is bordered by the Aire Valley to the south and features open moorland on its eastern fringes. The area functions primarily as a collection of residential settlements with local commercial centres serving the immediate population.

A notable local landmark is the chimney of the former Denholme Mill, a remnant of the area's industrial textile past. The Leeds and Liverpool Canal runs through the southern part of the ward, providing a recreational route. Land use is mixed, with farmland separating the villages and pockets of light industry. The topography is generally elevated, contributing to its position on the edge of the South Pennines.
