Welcome to our page of information, attractions and places of interest around Ossett. The Ossett hotels listed below are either in the town or we have given a rough guide as to how far they are from Ossett. From Ossett you can explore the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, a lovely upland area of limestone hills and pastoral valleys at the heart of the Pennines. We hope you enjoy your stay and find your ideal accommodation. Ossett is a town in West Yorkshire, located half-way between Dewsbury to the west and the city of Wakefield to the east. The town was once a thriving centre of the "shoddy" industry; the recycling of woollen garments. The "World Coal Carrying Championship" takes place every Easter Monday in Gawthorpe, a small village situated on the outskirts of Ossett. The main event is the men’s contest and starts at The Royal Oak, from where competitors, each carrying 50kg of coal, have to run close on a mile as quickly as possible before being allowed to drop the sacks of coal at the foot of the Maypole which stands on the village green. Women also run the same course as men carrying 20kg of coal. Also see Ossett.
