Clifton is a village on the eastern outskirts of Brighouse in the Calderdale district of West Yorkshire, England.

No successor parish was created for the former borough and so Clifton is directly administered by Calderdale Council.

Clifton is a village in the Brighouse ward of Calderdale, a metropolitan borough in the ceremonial county of West Yorkshire, England.

It was first recorded in 1307 and also mentioned by Daniel Defoe, author of Robinson Crusoe, in his 1727 book 'A Tour Of Great Brittain'.

On the western flank of the village is a long straight ridge, which constitutes the remains of a gravity railway that was last used to transport coal in 1920 to the municipal gasworks by the Calder and Hebble Navigation at Brighouse.

There are also intriguing historical connections such as America Lane, the fever hospital and Clifton 'airport' used by Sir Alan Cobham's Air Circus between the two world wars.

At the easterly edge of the village is the 16th-century Kirklees Hall, whose grounds contain the reputed grave of Robin Hood.

Originally the family home of Richard de Hileagh, constable of the village in the mid-14th century; it is now again a private residence.

The village, a 'Village Design Statement' area, has a junior and infant school, St John's Primary Academy, originally built in the 1870s.
