The Huddersfield Narrow canal provides lovely and easy walks. Half hour walk will take you to Stannedge Tunnel and Visitors Centre where you can find out the history of the industrial revolution in our area and take a guided boat tour through the tunnel. There's also a children's play area, not to mention very nice homemade cakes at the cafe.

There are several nice villages in the vicinity. Holmfirth is very popular as the setting for a long time British TV show Last of the Summer Wine. We like to catch the bus towards Manchester to visit Uppermill, the journey alone provides amazing views. We also like to walk along the canal to Slaithwaite (about 2 miles away) where there are several nice cafes and antique and arts and crafts shops. Our favourite curry house is here which we usually combine with a drink or two at the Commercial or the Shoulder of Mutton (or both).

For city centre attractions, museums, galleries, nightlife and shopping Manchester is our destination of choice. We particularly enjoy the quirkiness of the Northern Quarter. We love the City art gallery and going to the cinema or theatre at Home.

There is such a lot to do that all interests will be catered for.
