Colden School is a junior and infants school established in 1878.

Colden Water is crossed by two old footbridges, possibly dating from the 17th century. Strines Bridge is a packhorse bridge, and lower down a clapper bridge crosses the stream. Both are Grade II listed buildings.

The Pennine Way and Calderdale Way both pass through Colden.
