Parks & Nature
Ogden Water is a 60 hectare area of mixed conifer and broad leaf woodland. Birds on the reservoir tend to be restricted to Mallards, however over winter we get occasionally flashes of colour as visitors such as Goldeneyes, Goosanders or Canada Geese drop in. Other water birds that can be seen throughout the year include Kingfishers, Dippers, Herons and Great Crested Grebes.
The woodlands surrounding Ogden Water teem with song birds during April and May including Robins, Chaffinches, Great Tits, Goldfinches, Goldcrests, both Green and Great Spotted Woodpeckers, Jays and Bullfinches. Summer brings Swallows, House Martins and Swifts performing dazzling aerobatics over the reservoir surface as they chase food around. During autumn Crossbills are regularly seen on the edge of estate where woodlands and moorlands meet and the night air is disturbed by the hoots and calls of Tawny Owls. Winter brings large numbers of Thrushes, Redwings and Fieldfares to the surrounding fields.
On the open moorland Curlew and Red Grouse can often be seen with occasional sightings of Twites, Wheatears and Merlins Long and Short Eared Owls have also been seen about the area.
People can regularly get close to mammals at Ogden, with Grey Squirrels and rabbits relatively easy to see, however the early visitors might glimpse Roe Deer and Foxes as they walk around the woodlands.
Summertime brings a plethora of insects, from bumblebees to butterflies, moths to (unfortunately) midges and the early evening air filled with hungry bats.
The Ogden woodlands hold a over 30 different types of trees, from towering Firs and Pines, to stunted Oaks, Birches and Sycamores, but look closely and you might find Tulip Trees, Mulberrys and Aspens. Ground flora includes flowers such as Pink Purslane, Common Spotted Orchid and Wood Sorrel to name a few.

Arts & Culture
The Grade I listed Piece Hall, Halifax is a rare and precious thing, an architectural and cultural phenomenon which is absolutely unique. It is the sole survivor of the great eighteenth century northern cloth halls, a class of buildings which embodied the vital and dominant importance of the trade in hand woven textiles to the pre-industrial economy of the West Riding of Yorkshire, from the Middle Ages through to the early nineteenth century. Since 1779, The Piece Hall has stood proudly at the heart of Halifax. The Piece Hall has recently undergone a £19 million conservation and transformation programme and re-open on 1 August 2017.
