Norland Moor Local Nature Reserve is a popular open space to the south of Sowerby Bridge. It covers approximately 250 acres (100 ha) and rises to 932 feet (284 m) at its highest point, offering superb views of Calderdale and beyond.

It's gorgeous in autumn, when the heather is in full bloom. When the cloud is in, it can be an atmospheric place to wander, a feeling accentuated by its associations with ritual sacrifice. The Ladstone, an outcrop near the summit, is thought to have been used as such by the Druids.
