Fabulous village inn! Well organised; every care taken in the present circumstances. Careful welcome at the entrance with hand sanitizer at every turn! Delicious home made pie with plenty of choice, plus mushy peas; sauces too ... including mint sauce of course! Very welcoming open fire, especially as we had arrived on our bikes on a chilly day! Great pint of Landlord for my man, delicious dry rosé for me. A great atmosphere, a lovely welcome too! Thanks!

If you are looking for interesting, beautiful and quality products Crafty Praxis is a perfect shop to visit. There's a great variety of local crafts, ranging from jewellery & ceramics to greeting cards & artwork. The owner is lovely and helpful, (and makes fab jewellery). She also has a local artist who can make personalised pieces of art for you. You can find it in a lovely Victorian Arcade, (Byram Arcade, the last remaining example in Huddersfield). The restaurant Med One next to the arcade is also worth a stop if you're hungry, great food.

Love the Sair! Friendly staff and chatty locals. It’s a proper old Yorkshire Brew pub with hops over the bar, a great jukebox, real fires in winter and dogs laid out on the worn floorboards. The beer’s good and they’re making a real effort to put on good standard live acoustic music on Friday nights. Worth a bus trip or taxi ride out!

Great place to walk, with plenty of parking. The walk is easy and enjoyable, with all the walk being on a path. The only thing that lets it down is the part right next to the M62. But you soon forget that was even there when you walk a bit further.

Kwas is a small wine shop and bar in the centre of Huddersfield. Just hiding behind Tesco’s. A mere 300 metres walk from the train station. We’ve opened the doors in December 2018 to a world of natural wine, sourcing from independent wine makers, with a variety of surprising tastes. The atmosphere is fun and at Kwas we aim to give you a great experience. We offer a space to drink out, take in, share a bottle with friends or sample by the glass. Join the conversation or relax by yourself. This is our journey into the world of real wines and we’re learning along the way. Come share our passion about simplicity, joy and the fun in life. The shop offers an adaptable art space, with regular gigs, tasting events and more. The Uk’s first 100% vegan wine bar and shop, we are proud of our little establishment. We receive fresh organic sourdough delivered every Wednesday and Friday via our very good friends Triangle Bakehouse. We hope you enjoy the shop. Dunk and Ola x
