Cromwell Bottom is regarded as one of the most important wildlife sites in Calderdale. Nestled between the River Calder and the Calder and Hebble Navigation, the wetlands, woodlands and meadows provide a variety of habitats for birds, insects, mammals and arachnids. Right next to the Calder Valley Greenway cycle trail, it is well worth parking up to explore.
