Burnley Way about to descend into the Upper Calder Valley To make matters confusing there are two River Calders.
The one overlooked by the stile flows east through Halifax and Wakefield to eventually arrive at the North Sea via the Humber Estuary.
The other flows in the opposite direction to the Irish Sea via the River Ribble.
Their sources are around a mile apart.
