Harden is an attractive village in rural Bradford, West Yorkshire, surrounded by woods and fields, situated just over a mile north of Bingley in an open valley at the crossroads of the Bingley to Cullingworth B6429 road and the unclassified road from Wilsden to Keighley. The valley is open with well kept farm land and the valley sides are wooded.
Harden Beck flows through a narrow, steep sided ghyll known as Goit Stock alongside the village. This whole delightful setting is within the Green Belt.
Harden is home to two churches, Harden Congregational and Anglican, and Harden Primary School. There is a Post Office, a pharmacy, an independent butcher's, a hairdresser, beautician, a village food store and several public houses.
Harden Memorial Hall, owned by Bardford Council, is used by the community and is home to Harden Pre School, Afterschool Club, Toddler Group and Youth Club.
The Parish Council holds its monthly meetings in the Memorial Hall
at 7.15pm on the second Thursday of each month.
Surrounding the Hall is Harden Park, host to the annual gala during the Summer
and home to a small playground.
Harden is also the proud home to the St Ives Estate, a large stretch of land with woodland and a well-equipped children's adventure playpark, as well as paths up to moorland. St Ives also contains an 18-hole golf course and elite golf club.
