About Cruck Cottage
Cruck Cottage is a charming 17th century cottage on Ashes Farm near Castle Hill, Almondbury. The cottage is surrounded by fields and enjoys magnificent views of the Huddersfield area and tributary valleys. Period features include a stunning cruck frame and rafters dating from the 17th century.
