Walks into the countryside can be enjoyed from the doorstep, or why not take half an hour's stroll down to the charming village of Slaithwaite where you will find delightful independent shops and its restored canal. Two miles away the bustling moorland village of Marsden can be accessed easily by car, as can the ever popular village of Holmfirth, famous for being the setting for the Last of the Summer Wine. Holmfirth provides a great range of traditional and new pubs, as well as many varied eating establishments. Visitors of the area are encouraged to visit the majestic city of York and Harrogate for a day out, perfect for a day shopping or simply taking in the sights and sounds or the many attractions including York dungeon or Harrogate's Turkish baths.

The traditional West Riding village of Slaithwaite is set in the Colne Valley in the South Pennines, just six miles from the picturesque market town of Holmfirth. Full of history, the village retains several buildings from the mid 15th century, including Slaithwaite Hall, one of the few surviving cruck frame structures in Yorkshire. The viaduct dominates the skyline and is an awe-inspiring sight, whilst the village centre is very pretty with the restored Huddersfield Canal winding through and a lovely selection of independent shops, self-brewing pubs and eateries, where you can sample local fare.
