About Huddersfield
In the Metropolitan Borough of Kirklees, West Yorkshire sits Huddersfield's large market town. The town is famous for its local rugby team, the Huddersfield Giants, who play at The John Smith's Stadium. It is said that Rugby originated right here in this large Yorkshire town where the sport was invented in 1895, making the connection with the sport even more poignant.
Doused in historical significance, Huddersfield has over 200 listed buildings. This market town was once renowned as an epicentre for textile manufacturing, a trade that brought merchants from far and wide to the site. As a result, many of the period buildings remain standing today.
Getting around Huddersfield is a sinch with plenty of bus and rail options on hand to serve the public.
