Colden is a hamlet in the West Riding of Yorkshire. It consists of scattered houses and farms on high ground west of Heptonstall, above the valley of Colden Water.
Colden School is a junior and infants school established in 1878.
Here, Colden Water is crossed by two old footbridges, possibly dating from the 17th century. Strines Bridge is a packhorse bridge,[1] and lower down a clapper bridge crosses the stream.[2] Both are Grade II listed structures.
The Pennine Way and Calderdale Way both pass through Colden.
