About

The Holme Valley North ward encompasses a primarily rural section of West Yorkshire's countryside, characterised by its network of villages and hamlets set within the steep-sided valleys of the River Holme and its tributaries. The landscape is defined by rolling Pennine moorland, patchwork fields, and wooded cloughs, with settlement patterns reflecting the area's historical development around water-powered textile mills. Scattered communities like Holmbridge and Hepworth are connected by narrow, winding lanes that follow the contours of the land.

The area's industrial heritage remains visible in the form of converted mill buildings and weavers' cottages, now often repurposed for modern living. A defining characteristic is the Holme Moss transmitting station, its mast a prominent landmark on the high moorland skyline visible for miles. The topography encourages local walking and cycling, with public footpaths leading onto open access moorland managed for sheep grazing and grouse shooting, underpinning a working agricultural economy.
