Vital work that we support down at Cromwell Bottom.

A wonderful date for your 2024 diary …

We will NOT be opening the Visitor Centre this Sunday (Christmas Eve). But we WILL BE open on Boxing Day (come down and walk it all off!) and also on the following Sunday (which is New Year’s Eve).

We’re sure you’ll be having some drinks over the festive period 😀. Please, please save your empty drinks cans and bring them down to the Visitor Centre; they raise valuable funds to help us maintain the reserve. Have a great Christmas!

Our Visitor Centre will be open this coming Bank Holiday Monday serving it’s usual range of cakes and refreshments. Call in and enjoy!

Join our moth experts on Sunday 27th August at 10 am at the Visitor Centre to identify the moths caught in the traps overnight. They’re expecting the first of the autumn moth species. All welcome!

Calderdale Council Can always bring you drinks cans to Cromwell Bottom Wildlife Group and they recycle and claim 1p per can for charity and the money goes back into the nature reserve 🙂👍🏻💕

Initial prep work for our Open Day complete; paddock mown and hay moved to our conservation area to provide habitat for wildlife. Come down and talk to experts about badgers, hedgehogs and moths, see birds of prey and pet a snake. Fun for all the family! 🤞for the weather.

Maybe we can get a Happy Birthday sung for you!

It’s only 10 days away. Our Open Day will be fun for all the family. Come down and see the fabulous Shibden Valley Birds of Prey, moths, butterflies and maybe some lizards and a snake or two. There’ll be craft stalls and a fabulous raffle. Come on down!

Come down to our Open Day on Saturday 5th August. Lots of fun for all the family! Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, calderdale badger protection group and Halifax Hedgehogs will be there + birds of prey, moths and other activities. CalderCountry Halifax Events WY Discover Halifax Visit Calderdale
