Good location

Huddersfield is one of the largest towns in the country without city status. It is best known for its musical and sporting traditions. The award-winning McAlpine Stadium is home to Huddersfield's professional football and rugby league clubs as well as an increasing number of sporting activities.

The town is surrounded by some of the most spectacular scenery in the British Isles and is within easy reach of the Peak District and Yorkshire Dales as well as the major urban centres of Leeds, Manchester and Sheffield.

There are excellent road and rail links and the cost of living and housing compares favourably with other regions of Britain.
