Calendar 2018

"We'll sweep away the old year and bring the New Year in!" The Long Company Mummers perform their traditional play at the Hinchliffe Arms

Looking down the footpath to Moorside Cottages and Green Bank, deep snow drifts bury walls and paths across Cragg Vale

The view from High Stones Road across to Wham's Wood, down in the valley bluebells cover the banks and deer can be seen in the woods

Easter is the time for egg hunts and Easter bonnets! Children from Cragg Vale Junior & Infants School enjoy Cragg Vale's refurbished Park and Community Garden

'Saw Sunday', a tradition dating back over 300 years, is celebrated on the first Sunday in May at the spa, restored in 2010, and is once again an annual event

The Calderdale Way becomes a flagged path once used by mill workers as it drops down from Deacon Hill, Old Cragg Hall can be glimpsed across the valley

St. John The Baptist In The Wilderness, at the heart of Cragg Vale, is the venue for Cragg Vale School's fete and annual duck race in Cragg Brook

Old Cragg Hall, built 1617, looks down into the valley where Turvin Clough and Withens Clough join to form Cragg Brook, a favourite spot for summer fun

Cragg Vale is criss-crossed by old paths between dry stone walls. In September the music at Cragg Fest, held behind the Robin Hood, brings young and old together

A clear blue sky reflects in Withens Clough reservoir, this is a good time of year to walk across the valley and maybe find the ancient sheep fold beside Turvin Clough

As the beech trees lose their leaves, old walls can be seen in Higher House woods. In Cragg Vale's Park and Community Garden, our 'Festival of Lights' is celebrated

Snow transforms the view from Higher House Moor to Turkey Lodge and Craggs Country Business Park, with some stone walls and rooftops picked out on the hillside
