Elland Upper Edge is a residential area located in the Metropolitan Borough of Calderdale, West Yorkshire, England. It is situated immediately to the southwest of the town of Elland, from which it derives its name. The "Upper Edge" refers to its elevated position, as it sits on a hillside or ridge offering panoramic views, particularly overlooking the Calder Valley to the north and west.
Geography and Characteristics: The area is characterized by a mix of housing, ranging from older stone-built properties to more modern developments. Its elevated topography provides distinct views across the industrial and rural landscapes of the Calder Valley, including parts of Elland, Brighouse, and the surrounding countryside. Elland Upper Edge is primarily residential, with local amenities typically found in the adjacent town of Elland. Its position above the main valley floor contributes to a sense of distinctiveness from the more densely populated areas below.
Administration: As part of the wider Calderdale district, Elland Upper Edge falls under the jurisdiction of Calderdale Council for local government services. It is connected to Elland town centre and the wider road network via local access roads.
