About

Cowcliffe and South Fixby lie to the northwest of Huddersfield town centre in Kirklees, West Yorkshire. The area is mainly residential with a mix of housing, local shops and community buildings set along a network of lanes. Pockets of woodland and open fields thread through the neighbourhood, with footpaths and bridleways that link streets to the higher ground beyond. Local travel is driven by short road links into neighbouring suburbs and by pedestrian routes used for daily errands and leisure walks.

Fixby Hall sits within the local landscape as a 17th-century manor now used by Huddersfield Golf Club, its stonework and parkland visible from nearby streets. The golf course and surrounding stone walls give parts of the area a rural edge, while lanes pass former farm buildings that attest to the district’s agricultural past. Community life is organised around small clubs, informal walking groups and everyday services, with residents using the green corridors and rights of way for recreation and short trips into the surrounding countryside.
