From Wikitravel

Todmorden is a town in Calderdale in West Yorkshire. It is to the far west of this region and borders on Greater Manchester and Lancashire. Before the 1970s Todmorden was a borough in the West Riding of Yorkshire and at one time the county boundary between the West Riding and Lancashire was in part the brook that runs under the town hall.

[edit] Get in

Todmorden is on the railway line from Manchester and Rochdale to Halifax, Bradford and Leeds. There is a line to Burnley, Blackburn, Preston and Blackpool from the neighbouring station of Hebden Bridge.

There are regular buses to Burnley, Halifax and Rochdale and less frequent ones to Bacup.

[edit] Get around

The Pennine Way, a footpath which runs from Derbyshire into the Borders region of Scotland passes within the town's boundaries. A particularly popular place on it is the monument to the dead of the Napoleonic wars at Stoodley Pike.

[edit][add listing] See

• The conservation villages of Lumbutts and Mankinholes, by the T6 or T8 bus, if you don't want to walk.
• The Rochdale Canal has some of its most attractive and interesting stretches within the town's boundary.
• The Old Hall dates from Tudor times and was once a post office. The Town Hall is an Italianate building rather out of proportion to Todmorden's current importance. The market has declined somewhat of recent years but was once well known as the only one for some miles open on Good Friday.

[edit][add listing] Do

Walking, cycling, fishing and horse riding are all widely practiced in the area. The park (or parts of it) has been closed recently for flood relief works but will again provide for bowls and pitch and putt as well as straight putting and crazy golf.
