About the location

Kirkburton is a lovely village with lots of history, lovely places to eat (including a Michelin restaurant, Norman’s, where Bruce Springsteen and Steven Graham recently lunched - need to book but well worth it!) and a couple of locals pubs in easy walking distance. The local Co-op is a reasonable size where you can get most things and is a minute’s walk away. All the large supermarkets are within a 10-15 min drive. There are also an excellent butcher, baker, independent clothing shops and a load of beauty salons and hairdressers. Kirkburton has a 16th century church (where I am a bell ringer) so you’d be more than welcome to climb the tower up the very narrow staircase on practice night (Wednesday) for a look! The church and church yard are also really interesting.

Kirkburton is located between Huddersfield and Holmfirth (the setting for ‘Last of the Summer Wine’) which also has great independent shops. There’s also a vineyard with amazing views over the Holme Valley. There’s lots of walking locally from the doorstep from a quick trundle down to the village and pentanque pitch to more hilly climbs. It’s also great for biking if you don’t mind hills!

There’s always lots going on in Huddersfield in the summer and there’s lots of investment going into the town. There’s a great indoor centre, The Light, which offers cinema, arcades, bowling, shuffle board etc and food - great for kids and adults if the weather lets you down. The train station area is also worth a visit with it’s beautiful listed buildings and the George Hotel, the home of Rugby league, is currently being renovated.

We’re also about 40 mins on the train from both Leeds and Manchester. Many others including York are within an hour’s drive. You can drive to Huddersfield station for direct trains or more local stations offer free parking and connections to Huddersfield and beyond. There’s so much to do in the local area and beyond, our home is a great base to explore.
