About

Holme Valley South ward covers a large rural area in the southern part of the Kirklees district. Its landscape is defined by the steep-sided valleys of the River Holme and its tributaries, with expanses of open moorland rising to the high ground of the Pennines. The ward contains several distinct villages, including Holmfirth, which serves as the main settlement and administrative centre for the wider valley area. Scattered farms and wooded cloughs are characteristic features across this terrain.

The area is known for its historical connections to the textile industry, with remnants of old mill buildings found alongside the waterways. A network of dry stone walls crosses the hillsides, delineating fields and adding to the traditional character. The Holme Valley Memorial Hospital, a local community facility, is situated in Holmfirth. The surrounding countryside provides extensive walking routes onto the moors, including access to popular trails like the Kirklees Way.
