Holmfirth

Holmfirth is a small Village in the Kirklees district of West Yorkshire, on the edge of the Peak District in Northern England.

There are two notable things that have ever happened in Holmfirth. These are:

• The overflow of Bilberry reservoir, and subsequent flooding of the Holme Valley, which caused many deaths in the early 20th Century.
• The long running BBC sitcom Last of the Summer Wine is set here.

Some would say it is well worth avoiding the area on a Sunday (or any public holiday when the weather is good), as the town becomes very busy during that time, with tourists.
