Keighley is a town in the civil parish within the metropolitan borough of the City of Bradford in West Yorkshire. The town, which is part of the Brontė Country, has a population of 51,429 (2001 Census), making it the third largest civil parish in England.
Keighley lies at the confluence of the River Worth and River Aire in the south Pennines. Its northernmost boundary is marked by the suburb of Utley and its southern limit is the Bracken Bank housing estate. To the west, the town advances up the hill to the suburb of Black Hill and in the east it terminates at the residential neighbourhoods of Long Lee and Thwaites Brow. The outlying northeastern suburb of Riddlesden is sometimes referred to as a separate village, though strictly speaking it is part of the town.
Parts of Keighley are very prone to flooding and the town was particularly badly hit in 2000. Since that time, millions have been spent on strengthening flood defenses.
The town is a must see for steam enthusiasts as it boasts a lovingly restored steam railway. Steam trains leave regularly from Keighley along the railway, which leads west along the Worth Valley up to the villages of Oakworth, Haworth (famous for its association with the Brontes) and Oxenhope in the heart of West Yorkshire's Bronte Country.
