Country life
Oats Royd Mill sits high above the Calder Valley with spectacular views of the incredibly beautiful countryside. Steep hillside fields and large copses of trees are interspersed by traditional dry stone walls and old farmsteads with the village of Luddenden nestled into the side of the valley not far below.
The oldest surviving building in this picturesque village of Luddenden is the early 17th century Lord Nelson Inn, which, alongside the Parish Church, still plays a central role in this close-knit community.
Most of the original houses are simple stone dwellings - built with the same natural elements as the landscape itself - and reminiscent of weaver's cottages due their rows of square mullioned windows.
