Best stops between Huddersfield and Leeds: Oakwell Hall
Oakwell Hall is a key stop on the Bronte trail around West Yorkshire. Charlotte Bronte stayed here in the 1830s, and it later became Fieldhead in her novel, Shirley.
This Elizabethan manor house is Grade I Listed and supposedly haunted. It is furnished to look as it would have done in the 1830s, and the country park outside has nature trails and period gardens.
Huddersfield to Leeds road trip attractions: Bagshaw Museum
A delicious slice of eccentricity, Bagshaw Museum in Batley is a former Victorian mill owner’s house, and has become home to a somewhat magpie-esque collection oddities.
One minute you’re looking at an Egyptian tomb, the next African drums, the next a display on Fox’s biscuits. Despite the genre-hopping, the South Asia gallery is the strongest section and the main reason to visit.
Huddersfield to Leeds drive: White Rose Shopping Centre
Don’t expect too much indie flair at the White Rose Shopping Centre. This is a fairly standard out of town shopping centre.
That said, it does have 120 stores and an 11 screen Cineworld cinema with IMAX. There are plenty of food options, although most of the stores don’t veer too far from what you might see on any English high street. A local touch is provided by the Leeds United shop.
