West Yorkshire

The university town of Huddersfield, on the edge of The Pennines and close to the Peak District National Park, is the largest town in Yorkshire.

Only five of Yorkshire's eight cities, Leeds, Sheffield, Bradford, Hull and York, have a larger population than the town.

Around Huddersfield are more than 100 villages, hamlets and small townsHuddersfield is also the administrative centre of the metropolitan district of Kirklees, the seventh most populous metropolitan district in the whole of the UK. The metropolitan district has several towns, including Batley, Cleckheaton, Dewsbury, Heckmondwike and Mirfield in its northern area. In the southern portion of the district, around Huddersfield, there is a hinterland of more than 100 villages, hamlets and small towns, including Holmfirth, Kirkburton, Meltham, Slaithwaite, Marsden and Denby Dale.

The Kirklees district is one of five in West Yorkshire and covers 157 square miles. Its size compares to about one-third of the area of the whole of Greater Manchester, which is divided into 10 metropolitan districts, or just under half the size of the whole West Midlands, which is divided into 7 metropolitan districts.

Huddersfield Railway StationBeyond the Kirklees district, Halifax is 8 miles by road north-north-east of Huddersfield, Bradford is 11 miles north, Wakefield is 12 miles east-north-east, Barnsley, in South Yorkshire, is 14 miles south-east and Leeds is 15 miles north-east.

The Victoria Jubilee Tower at Castle Hill overlooks Huddersfield, which has fine architecture, much of it dating from the town's Victorian expansion and including a grade one listed railway station. Near to the town is Britain's highest free-standing structure and listed building, the TV mast at Emley Moor, which is taller than The Shard in London.

Byram Street, HuddersfieldJohn William Street, HuddersfieldAlso near to Huddersfield are the longest and deepest canal tunnel on the highest stretch of canal in the country and the highest point on Britain's motorway network.

Among the town's other claims to fame is that it was the birthplace of rugby league, formed in 1895 at the George Hotel in Huddersfield as the Northern Rugby Football Union.

John Smith's Stadium, HuddersfieldThe town has a modern football stadium, opened in 1994, which hosts the soccer games of Championship club Huddersfield Town, rugby league games of Huddersfield Giants and sometimes international matches.

While Huddersfield has a long history of settlement, in which it outgrew its district of Almondbury as a market place, it saw massive expansion in the Victorian era as a centre of excellence in the textile industry. It also has long traditions in other industries, including engineering, chemicals and a diverse range of other businesses, more recently including media businesses and retail warehousing.

Places to Visit

Castle Hill

Castle Hill, HuddersfieldCastle Hill Side, off Ashes Lane, Almondbury
Castle Hill is a dominant feature overlooking Huddersfield, a scheduled ancient monument and rare example in the north of England of a late Bronze Age or early Iron Age hill fort. It was first used for settlement about 4,000 years ago and first enclosed in around the 7th century BC, but was apparently abandoned by the end of the 5th century BC. After many centures of being unoccupied, earthworks were remodelled to create a motte and bailey castle in the early 12th century AD, when licence to fortify was granted by King Stephen, grandson of William the Conqueror. Traces of timber buildings, some stonework and medieval pottery and metal were found during excavations together with a well. It appears the castle was abandoned quite early in its life but a small settlement remained until the 15th century. The hill was reoccupied by a 19th century hotel and pub, but this was totally dismantled in, contravening a planning application for its remodelling and new building works were removed. The tower at the top of the hill is the Victoria Tower, opened in 1899 after public fund-raising started two years earlier in the diamond jubilee year of Queen Victoria. The hill has nature trails on paths encircling the castle earthworks and offers spectacular views across the surrounding area. The hilltop has been used for the lighting of beacons, one fire being lit at the time of the Spanish Armada. Little early stonework remains except for the well which can be found not far from the Victoria Tower. The tower itself is open to the public during summer weekends and holidays to climb its internal staircase to the viewing platform at the top. Opening details can be found at the Kirklees Council website.

The tunnel is also the deepest below ground and is the highest stretch of canal in the country. An exhibition centre shows the work which went into the opening of the tunnel in 1811 and how goods were propelled through the tunnel by leggers laying on the boat roof and walking on the tunnel sides or roof. There is also a children's play area and the opportunity to travel deep into the tunnel on a guided narrow boat or to relax at the Watersedge cafe beside the tunnel. The centre hosts a variety of events throughout the year. Marsden is about 7 miles west-south-west of Huddersfield and is easily reached by train to Marsden station, bus or car. The visitor centre is about half-a-mile along the canal towpath from the station. The visitor centre is managed by the Canal & River Trust

Holmfirth

Holmfirth is a small market town full of character in the Holme Valley 5 miles south of Huddersfield, 6.3 miles by road and easily reached by bus.

The town is bustling with smart shops, boutiques, pubs and restaurants, while stone-built cottages and houses seem to cling to the steep sides of the valley, some reached by cobbled streets. See our Holmfirth page for more details.

Whistlestop Valley formerly Kirklees Light Railway

Shelley station - Kirklees Light RailwayKirklees Light RailwayPark Mill Way, Clayton West, near Huddersfield
Whistelstop Valley is a rebranding of the Kirklees Light Railway, a 15-inch-gauge light railway on the trackbed of the former Clayton West branch line from the Huddersfield-Penistone-Sheffield line. The branch had survived the Beeching axe of the 1960s but eventually closed to coal traffic in 1979 and passengers from the large commuter villages of Skelmanthorpe and Clayton West in 1983. Work began to create the new 15-inch-gauge light railway from Clayton West in 1991 and was completed along the full 3.5 miles to Shelley in 1997. The line operates most weekends and on weekdays at certain times of the year. Six steam locomotives and two diesel locomotives are used on the line, some built specially for the railway while others have seen previous service at seaside railways such as the Fairbourne Railway in Wales and Cleethorpes Coast Light Railway in North East Lincolnshire. Special occasions have seen guest visits from other lines, including the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway in Sussex and the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway in Cumbria. Santa Specials operate in December. The railway is based at Clayton West where there is a cafe, play area, picnic area, miniature railway, gift shop and toilets. At the Shelley end of the line there is also a cafe, play area, picnic area and toilets. There is no interchange with the adjoining main line at KLR's Shelley station, but there is a waymarked walk to the station from Shepley, taking about 20 minutes. The KLR's intermediate stations at Skelmanthorpe and Cuckoo's Nest provide access to a good network of paths for walkers, Skelmanthorpe station being a short walk from the village. The railway marks its 30th year in 2021 with rebranding as Whistlestop Valley and traditional train tickets replaced with Big Adventure tickets if wanting a train ride as well as access to all facilities like the cafe and picnic area, activity space and a jumping pillow timetabled to arrive in August 2021.
