 West
Yorkshire -
West Yorkshire has much
to offer visitors to the county with its industrial heritage
attractions, towns and cities to visit, canals and the network
of paths and cycleways, both in towns and in the countryside.
Created in 1974,
West Yorkshire is composed of the districts of Bradford, Calderdale,
Kirklees, Leeds and Wakefield.
In 1986 all the
metropolitan areas became separate local authorities.
However, West Yorkshire
still exists in law and as a ceremonial county.
The Brontės, Ted
Huges and Silvia Plath are important literary figures associated
with the area, and famous artists include Henry Moore and
Barbara Hepworth.
