The town is known for its role in the Industrial Revolution, and for being the birthplace of rugby league.
Being so close to the Pennines and the Colne Valley, Huddersfield makes a great spot to get outdoors and explore nature. Head up Castle Hill for some stunning views of the surrounding area, or stroll around Marsden Moor Estate for a more leisurely walk.
