West YorkshireHuddersfield

Huddersfield is located near the edge of the Peak District National Park and the South Pennines.  Recognised as the largest town in Europe, it grew with the textile industry and its prosperity during the Industrial Revolution is reflected in the town's splendid Victorian architecture.

Today the town still exports fine woollen worsteds all over the world. 

The Tolson Memorial Museum and the Colne Valley Museum provide an intriguing glimpse into the history of Huddersfield and the lives of its inhabitants. 

Other viistor attractions for tourists include the Huddersfield Art Gallery, the Lawrence Batley Theatre and two concert halls. Today the multi-cultural town is a popular shopping centre with intimate lanes and arcades, an open market and pedestrianised areas with up-to-date shopping areas. 

With a university at its heart the town also boasts a great nightlife. 

Dominating the skyline of Huddersfield is Castle Hill, inhabited since the Stone Age and crowned by the Victoria Tower (built in 1898/9).  From the tower there are panoramic views of Huddersfield and the surrounding countryside. 

There are many canal walks around the town. The Huddersfield Broad Canal, a cruising waterway with links to the national network, has its terminus at Apsley Basin and also running from here is the Hudderfield Narrow Canal (the shortest Trans-Pennine route), which is currently being restored. 

Another transport attraction is the Kirklees Light Railway, a narrow-gauge line running through the picturesque South Pennines from Clayton West to Shelley. 

There are several fine parks in the town and the Colne and Holne Valley provides some ruggedly beautiful scenery for walking and cycling. 

Huddersfield was the birthplace of Rugby League and sport still plays an important role in the life of the town.  The famous Alfred McAlpine Stadium, opened in 1995, is home to both Huddersfield Town FC and Huddersfield Giants Rugby League Club.
