Brighouse

Brighouse is a moderately-sized town within the Metropolitan Borough of Calderdale, in West Yorkshire, England, neighbouring Halifax. It is prettily situated on the bank of the River Calder in the Pennines and boasts excellent road, rail and canal links.

Yorkshire is the largest county in England, spanning three National Parks — the Yorkshire Dales, the North Yorkshire Moors and the Peak District, in addition to the untamed moorland of Bronte Country, the Howardian Hills and the Yorkshire Wolds. West Yorkshire in particular is a unique part of the country to visit, with a fantastic combination of the old and the new in such close proximity. Just a few select examples of the many attractions of the West Yorkshire region includes: the Brontë Parsonage Museum, Harewood House, the Middleton Railway working steam railway line, the Thackray Museum of medical history (which is a particularly popular attraction with children), The Alhambra Theatre, Bradford Cathedral, St. Leonards Farm Park, Pontefract Castle, and the Lightwater Valley Theme Park & Zoo.

The town itself has two good high streets with a variety of shops, boutiques, cafés and restaurants, as well as the Smith Art Gallery. There is also plenty of quality holiday accommodation to be found in the town, making Brighouse a lovely spot from which to enjoy the best of West Yorkshire from a more relaxed, but not too rural setting.
