Geographically speaking, Huddersfield is situated in a basin surrounded by hills; this can be readily seen from many of the vantage points around the area. Huddersfield owes much of its growth and prosperity to the Industrial Revolution, when it became one of the best manufacturing towns of fine woollen textiles. Modern day Huddersfield has been transformed into a smart shopping area with several pedestrian areas. Just out of the town centre on the Leeds Road is a modern complex including a stadium, swimming pool, and multi-screen cinema. The town also has three parks, a wonderful modern spa facility and a lovely theatre, and boasts excellent road links to many tourist locations. Holmfirth, fondly remembered by many as being the home of Compo, Cleggy and Nora Batty, from the long running comedy series Last of the Summer Wine, is just eight miles away and Haworth, the home of the famous Bronte sisters, is just a sixteen-mile drive. The area is excellent for children with many attractions including the Kirklees Light Railway and Eureka, the National Children’s Museum. A lovely area steeped in history where visitors always enjoy the genuine hospitality of a thriving local community, and also close to the bright lights of Manchester, Leeds and Sheffield.
