About

Holmfirth, New Mill and Hepworth sit in the Holme Valley in Kirklees, West Yorkshire, with the River Holme running through the settlements. Holmfirth occupies a bowl at the head of the valley and retains a compact town centre of shops, cafes and community venues. The town is widely associated with the long-running TV comedy Last of the Summer Wine and many streets and lanes used in filming are still recognisable to visitors. Stone buildings and narrow streets step down to the river, where small bridges and weirs mark the town’s industrial past.

New Mill and Hepworth lie along the valley to the north and west of Holmfirth and were shaped by the wool and textile trade; former mill buildings and rows of workers’ cottages remain along the Holme. Above the valley sits Bilberry Reservoir and a network of public footpaths that give direct access onto the surrounding moorland. Local bus routes link the three settlements to Huddersfield, while community halls, village churches and sports clubs continue to form the area’s civic backbone.
