About

Almondbury centres around a historic hilltop village with a prominent 12th-century castle mound overlooking the surrounding valleys. The area's topography is defined by steep, winding streets and stone-built terraced houses that climb the hillside. Local commerce is focused along Castle Hill and Northgate, serving the immediate residential community.

Waterloo, situated on lower ground to the northwest, is primarily a residential district with Victorian and early 20th-century housing. The Huddersfield Broad Canal runs through this part of the area, historically serving former textile mills. A notable local feature is the large, traditional public house, The Castle, which occupies a landmark position at the crossroads near the base of Castle Hill.
