Marsden Moor Estate, Protected moorland estate in West Yorkshire, United Kingdom.
The Marsden Moor Estate spans over 5,000 acres across the South Pennines, featuring heather moors, valleys, peaks, and diverse wildlife habitats.
The estate transferred to National Trust ownership in 1955 from the Radcliffe family and contains evidence of ancient transport routes near modern canal structures.
The estate maintains an exhibition called 'Welcome to Marsden' in a converted railway goods shed, presenting the natural and social heritage of the region.
Visitors can access the estate through multiple entry points, with free parking available at Buckstones Car Park and along routes A640, A62, and A635.
The moorland serves as a water catchment area since Victorian times, with several reservoirs constructed throughout the Wessenden Valley system.
