Jerusalem Farm
Campsite
Jerusalem Farm is situated between Halifax and Hebden Bridge in the heart of the picturesque
Luddenden Valley in rural Calderdale. The campsite is on a flat grassy area adjacent to
Luddenden Brook and Wade Wood, which is designated as a site of ecological and geological
interest (S.E.G.I.) due to it being a good example of mixed deciduous woodland. The site
offers campers all the basic facilities one would expect on a campsite without being
commercialised and has an added bonus in that the site is not accessible to cars (the car
parking area is a couple of minutes walk from the camping
area) which helps create a feeling of peace and tranquillity
on the site. Jerusalem Farm is ideal for people who wish to
escape from the pressures of everyday life and offers visitors
the opportunity to get back to nature in an idyllic setting.
Site open: Friday March 30th - Sunday 30th September
Points to note: No under 18’s unless accompanied by a
parent or guardian.
Charges
£6 per night for adults

Wildside walks,
activities and events 2012 - 13
Welcome to the Countryside & Woodlands walks and events programme.
There’s a really full programme again this year with some events being run in
collaboration with other Safer Cleaner Greener staff and voluntary organisations. The
popular health walks are back in the programme along with some more challenging
walks. The Pennine Way takes centre stage for a series of walks and there are loads
of family events and activities; whatever outdoor activity appeals to you we’re sure
you’ll enjoy this year’s programme.
This year we’re running a ponds project to help us find out more about Calderdale’s
ponds and we have several events including toad walks, pond dips and dragonfly
identification. We also have a woodlands day in August for you to come along and
find out how and why we manage woods and experience some woodland crafts.
New for this year is the introduction of cycling into the programme thanks to CTC
Calderdale who have arranged some easy rides for people who enjoy or want to
get back into cycling. Don’t forget the Calderdale Cycling Festival part of the South
Pennine Walk and Ride Festival held between September 8th and September 23rd.
Further information can be found nearer the time on www.visitcalderdale.com or
www.walkandridefestival.co.uk.
And just a reminder - there’s no Halloween event at Ogden this year because of
repairs to the dam so this year’s event will be held in Shibden Park. Thanks must go to
Jefferson Hammond LRPS (www.pennineimages.co.uk), Adam Swift and Chris
Sutcliffe for supplying photos for inclusion in the publication and also to all the
volunteer walk/event leaders without whom we wouldn’t have a programme!
Please note:
For information about grading of walk, what to bring etc. please refer to
page 4 and 5 of this booklet. For sites for which we have the information
available, we have included postcode details for those people using a
satellite navigation system. Please do not try to find Jerusalem Farm using
a postcode - you will get lost!
The National Trust at Hardcastle Crags also runs a guided walks programme.
