About

Gomersal sits in the borough of Kirklees in West Yorkshire, between Birstall and Cleckheaton on the lower slopes that lead toward the Pennines. The River Spen runs close by and the area mixes residential streets, local shops and community facilities with the remains of its textile past: stone-built terraces and converted mill buildings are part of the street pattern. Road and bus links connect Gomersal to neighbouring towns, while lanes and public footpaths lead out into surrounding fields and small woodlands used for walking and dog exercise.

A notable local landmark is Gomersal Old Hall, a timber-framed house set back from the main road that can be seen from Gomersal Lane and forms part of the area's built heritage. Community life centres on a primary school, a parish church and a handful of social venues, and many buildings use the local sandstone that characterises much of the architecture. The combination of river corridors, connecting paths and compact village streets gives Gomersal a clear sense of place within Kirklees.
