Calderdale is a wonderful well-kept secret. Miles and miles more paths than in the famous Dales and probably thousands less people on them. Great variety, as Splatcher says, excellent public transport so you can walk/run from station to station, with little local buses whizzing like bumper cars between villages. Beautiful historic gritstone houses and trods everywhere. Only drawback is the MUD. And if you want to run on the flat, only option is the canal towpath. Everything else is about 1 in 2.
