The Colne Valley is a steep-sided valley on the eastern flank of the Pennine Hills in West Yorkshire, England, named for the River Colne, which rises above Marsden and flows east toward Huddersfield before joining the River Holme. The valley contains the villages of Marsden, Slaithwaite, Linthwaite, Milnsbridge, Scapegoat Hill, Longwood and Golcar, and lies within the Kirklees metropolitan borough. During the Industrial Revolution the valley's waterways and canals powered a shift from hand-loom weaving to water-powered textile manufacturing, connecting it to Britain's wider industrial network.
