Holiday Cottages West Yorkshire

West Yorkshire

Here's what you can see and do when staying at one of our holiday cottages in Yorkshire.

From many of our holiday cottages in Yorkshire you can admire, in one breathtaking view, scenery combining the industrial landscape of times past with windswept, wild moorland. The Industrial Revolution exploited the fast- flowing rivers and streams of the Pennines to create a textile industry of world renown. The Victorian influence still dominates not only the public architecture of the many grand town halls but also the domestic scene with sturdy housing, now blackened by the pollution of the past. Nowhere better can this be seen than in Hebden Bridge where the River Calder flows through a narrow valley with homes clinging to the steep valley sides in turn, open out onto wild moorland, or in Holmfirth perhaps best known as the location for the long-running TV series Last of The Summer Wine. A West Yorkshire holiday cottage is a great way of discovering this fascinating area.

On a similar theme, the village of Saltaire, situated between Bradford and the Yorkshire Dales, has been designated a World Heritage site. This model village was built by a philanthropic mill owner and is dominated by the huge mill itself which now houses the world's largest collection of works by Bradford-born artist David Hockney and a small number of select retail outlets. On a nearby hillside is Haworth where the cobbled main street leads up to the parsonage, the former home of the Bronte sisters. A short, yet exhilarating walk from here takes you straight onto the moors and an isolated and ruined Yorkshire cottage with trees bent from the wind. This is Top Withens, which many believe to be the inspiration for, and setting of Wuthering Heights.

Across the valley lies Ilkley Moor, probably most famous for the song that has become the unofficial anthem of Yorkshire. It tells of a lover courting the object of his affections, Mary Jane, on Ilkley Moor without a hat (baht 'at). The singer chides the lover for his lack of headwear - for in the cold winds of Ilkley Moor this will mean death from exposure. This will in turn result in his burial, the eating of his corpse by worms, the eating of the worms by ducks and finally the eating of the ducks by the singers!
