Elland

Elland is an ancient market town in Calderdale, in the county of West Yorkshire, in England. It neighbours Halifax on the bank of the River Calder, as well as the Calder and Hebble Navigation. The town shares its name with the Elland family, who were Anglo-Saxon thegns to whom The Manor of Elland belonged until the mid-14th century. Although Elland is a relatively small town, with a very rural atmosphere, it boasts excellent shopping, accommodation and amenities, as well as convenient transport links by which to explore the wider West Yorkshire region.

The county of Yorkshire spans three National Parks — the Yorkshire Dales, the North Yorkshire Moors and the Peak District, in addition to the untamed moorland of Bronte Country, the Howardian Hills and the Yorkshire Wolds. West Yorkshire in particular is a unique part of the country to visit, with a fantastic combination of the old and the new in such close proximity.

Just a few select examples of the many attractions of the West Yorkshire region includes: the Brontë Parsonage Museum, Harewood House, the Middleton Railway working steam railway line, the Thackray Museum of medical history (which is a particularly popular attraction with children), The Alhambra Theatre, Bradford Cathedral, St. Leonards Farm Park, Pontefract Castle, and the Lightwater Valley Theme Park & Zoo.
