About

Scapegoat Hill, Outlane and West Golcar form a series of settlements on the high ground between the Colne and Holme valleys. The area is characterised by steep, winding lanes, stone-built terraces and farms, with expansive views across the surrounding West Yorkshire moorland. This is a residential and agricultural landscape, where older weaving cottages sit alongside more modern housing developments on the fringes of Huddersfield.

The topography defines the area, with roads like Pole Moor Lane following the ridges. A notable local landmark is the towering, isolated chimney of the former Longwood Edge Dyeworks, a remnant of the valley's industrial past. Community life centres around local schools, pubs and sports clubs, with the open access moorland of Scammonden and Wessenden providing walking routes directly from the outskirts.
