Hipperholme and Lightcliffe form a residential ward situated on the eastern edge of Calderdale, bordering the Kirklees district. The area is characterised by a mix of housing, from Victorian terraces to more modern developments, set across rolling hills.

A notable local landmark is the Lightcliffe Obelisk, a prominent 19th-century monument situated on a high point within the community.
