THE GREAT OUTDOORS
Whether it’s the dramatic rugged moorland of the Peak District
and South Pennines, wooded valleys or rolling green fields, you can be
sure that in Huddersfield you’re never far from some wonderful
countryside.
The area around Huddersfield is ideal for exploring on foot or cycle.
From short strolls to challenging walks there’s something for
everyone within a few minutes of the town centre. The tourist
information centre can provide a good stock of guides and information
to help you enjoy the countryside and details of guided walk
programmes.
Our countryside lends itself to many other outdoor pursuits with
riding, sailing, angling, orienteering, hang gliding, and paragliding
all popular.
