Holmfirth
Holmfirth is a village on the A6024 Woodhead Road in the Holme Valley, within the Metropolitan Borough of Kirklees, West Yorkshire, England. Centred upon the assemblage of the Holme and also Ribble rivers, Holmfirth is 6 miles (9.7 km) south of Huddersfield and 13 miles (21 km) northeast of Glossop. It mostly includes stone-built cottages snuggled in the Pennine hillsides. The Peak District National Forest around Holme Moss is 4 miles (6.4 km) to the south of the town. Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, Holmfirth was once a centre for introducing film-making by Bamforth & Co., which later changed to the production of saucy seaside postcards. In between 1973 and 2010 both Holmfirth and also the Holme Valley became popular as the recording area of the BBC's humorous series Last of the Summer Wine.
