👍👍 This was our first visit to Marsden Mutts with our dog, and we had a great experience from start to finish. We were contacted by Sal (the owner) the evening before to confirm the booking and location. Sal then met us at the gate and talked us through how to secure the field. Once you walk up the in...

Barklands Secure Dog Walking
Dog park
👍👍 It was really good, secure, lots of interesting stuff for milo to investigate and sniff. I was run off my feet! Brilliant! On a personal downside, i managed to leave his green slip lead, his favorite squeaky zebra and a FULL pack of dog treats somewhere! What a buffoon I am! Bad dog dad!

Holocaust Centre North
Museum
👍👍 A masterly, compact, easy to assimilate, multi dimensional, evidence based exposition of the holocaust in historical context, brought to life by the still vivid memories of a handful of living survivors. Every serious teacher of the holocaust will find it Immensely valuable as an educational too...

St Patrick's Church, Huddersfield
Catholic church
👍👍 Lovely sense of peace and community. The priest is a hoot, broad Yorkshire and blunt but with the true spirit of God. Rejoice.

Batley Butterfly House
Nature preserve
👍👍 The 2 ladies that are there are amazing, I took a 4 year old and a 2 year old and they were so patient with the kids and really took time to explain the insects to them. It's only a small place so only takes maybe 4 minutes to go round it but it is amazing. You can purchase plants there for a small...

Ashley Jackson Gallery
Art gallery
👍 Elegant gallery displaying the works of Yorkshire artist Ashley Jackson, anything from small scale prints to full size watercolour and oils. Some can appear quite dark but evokes that atmospheric feel. Not for something bright, colourful and cheerful.

Drive down the lane, park for free beside the offices and barns (used for events) and enjoy a wonderful, wild wander with some incredible views over Huddersfield! The staff were very welcoming and encouraged me to really explore the site. A hidden ge...

TagX
Children's amusement center
👍👍 Amazing experience overall. It's complete with physically challenging obstacle courses throughout. As far as I remember, TagX has 45 minute slots in which you have to attempt and tag/touch as many coloured beacons as possible. Provide extraordinary catering services too.

Thunder Bridge Meadow
Nature preserve
👍 If you head though and down the Storths Hall Woods you will reach the meadows. A pleasant contrast to walking through the woods. The trouble is you will have to walk back up the steep woods but will keep you fit.

Kirklees Way
Hiking area
👍 Sunday 22nd November - we took our handsome pooch for a walk round Digley reservoir. We hadn't been here before for a walk. The route was easy to follow, it was very busy and quite clearly a popular place. Quite steep in some places, some steep steps and rocky paths to climb but overall a good walk...
