 Welcome to our page of bed and breakfast in Holmfirth!
The town of Holmfirth has achieved fame as the centre
of "Last of the Summer Wine" country. Visitors flock
here every year to follow the footsteps of Compo, Clegg and Foggy
visiting Sid's Cafe and the "Wrinkled Stocking Tea Room"
in Compo's bedroom below Nora Batty's steps. Holmfirth itself
is an attractive town of steep, narrow alleys, cobbled lanes,
weavers' cottages and handsome old mills. It sits at the confluence
of the Holme and the Ribble, the cotton mills crowding the riverside.
The river Holme bursts its banks when the Pennine snows melt
too quickly and Holmfirth has witnessed three devestating floods.
The 18thC Holy Trinity Church was rebuilt after the 1777 flood
as an attractive Georgian "preaching Box" with galleries
on 3 sides and painted blue and white. Holmfirth
is 12 miles NE of Glossop, 5 miles
south of Huddersfield and 7 miles
west of Penistone. |
