The main shopping area with a good variety of shops and several chic boutiques and little art gallery is within a five minute stroll through cobbled streets.
The market town of Holmfirth
Located in the heart of the beautiful Holme Valley, Holmfirth is a small town that sits just north of the Peak District in West Yorkshire.
The town is best known as the location for the popular BBC TV series Last of the Summer Wine.
Whilst Last of the Summer Wine is a major visitor attraction, it certainly is not the only reason that makes people want to visit Holmfirth.
Holmfirth is a magnet for artists and performers with art, film and music festivals throughout the year. The quirky Picturedrome Cinema is the oldest in the world and a must to visit. It doubles as a venue for musicians who prefer the intimacy of small venues and top acts perform here throughout the year.
The alleyways and courtyards of the town centre offer a large choice of restaurants, wine bars and old-fashioned pubs serving real ales.
With a heritage based on wool, the area offers bargains to shoppers seeking top quality wool carpets, rugs and fabrics in the millshops scattered throughout the area.
The Surrounding Area
Against the glorious backdrop of Yorkshire's Last of the Summer Wine hills this quiet corner offers a tranquil base for secluded country walking and exploring attractions both on the doorstep, and further afield.
The Yorkshire Sculpture Park and visitor centre in West Bretton with 500 acres of lush parkland featuring figures by Henry Moore, Anthony Gormley and others.
The star of this lovely area is the scenery. Every turn offers a different view and superb walking and touring country for everyone from the ambler and rambler to the serious Pennine Way walkers and with so much on the doorstep one visit is never enough. The Peak District and Chatsworth; the Brontes and Haworth; hippy Hebden Bridge.
For those who prefer the relaxation offered by country parks and houses, the area around Huddersfield has an abundance. The 16th century Oakwell Hall and its 100 acre country park at Birstall, some 8 miles outside the town and a favourite haunt of Charlotte Bronte.
How about another of Charlotte Bronte's favourite places the Red House at Gomersal, some 7 miles from Huddersfield; or the ancient Shibden Hall and its 90 acre park near Halifax built in the early 15th century and featuring rooms furnished from the 17th to 19th centuries. Georgian Cannon Hall & Country Park at Cawthorne with delightful 18th century walled gardens, Open farm, farm shop, garden centre and the pretty country estate village of Cawthorne with country pub and antique centre.
Yorkshire is not known as "God's own country" for nothing. Blessed with stunning and varied scenery from the dramatic expanses of the Peak District moors to the gently enfolding green Pennine hills and valleys. Historic towns and quaint seaside villages - there is so much to explore.
The M1 and M62 motorways, excellent road and nearby mainline rail links offer easy access to all the attractions of the North of England. Manchester, Leeds, York, the University cities of Bradford, Sheffield and Huddersfield are all easily accessible.
