About

Southowram sits on a hilltop overlooking the Calder Valley, characterised by older stone properties and winding lanes. The area provides extensive views across the surrounding countryside, with its open moorland edges and historic sites like the remains of the medieval Elland Park Wood.

Siddal lies in the valley bottom below, a more residential area with a mix of housing from different periods. It is directly adjacent to the Rochdale Canal, where the steady movement of narrowboats contrasts with the fixed industrial heritage of former mills now repurposed for other uses.
