Alden Valley is a small valley on the eastern edge of the West Pennine Moors, west of Helmshore in Rossendale, Lancashire, England. It was part of the Earl of Lincoln's hunting park in the 14th century, was home to about twenty farms mostly raising cattle by 1840, and later developed textile mills during the Industrial Revolution; the valley is now dominated by sheep grazing with a few working farms and smallholdings.
