Car Hire Reviews Huddersfield

  • “The pick-up was easy, it took 5 minutes from arriving at the desk to driving out the car, and the return took even less time.”

Where to go

Huddersfield is the ideal destination for a rambling holiday, a romantic trip away or a break with the family.

The Green Flag-award winning Greenhead Park is an oasis of calm in the busy town centre, while visitors should definitely check out Standedge Tunnel - Britain's longest canal tunnel that stands beneath the beautiful Pennine countryside.

Nearby Huddersfield

Bradford is just a short drive away up the M62 and the M606. It's particularly famous for the National Media Museum, which gives a fascinating insight into the history of technologies we take for granted today.

Leeds is also a short distance up the road and offers attractions including the Royal Armouries Museum, Roundhay Park and Kirkstall Abbey. And en route you can soak up the great scenery in the Pennines.

Longer drives

Liverpool is just an hour and a half away and Manchester is even closer, so why not head down the M62 to explore these two great northern cities?

Or if Huddersfield has given you a taste for the outdoors, the Yorkshire Dales is just over an hour away in the car.

Eating and drinking

Huddersfield boasts a great mix of places to eat and drink, from sophisticated restaurants specialising in fine dining to traditional pubs serving up classic dishes like pie and chips.

Things to do

Kirklees Light Gauge Railway is a charming attraction that has been delighting visitors since 1991 and is a great way to experience the scenery and panoramic views on offer in the South Pennine foothills.

Visitors should also make a point of going to Standedge Tunnel and Visitor Centre, which has been restored for boat trips and includes a cafe and a fascinating exhibition.

Sightseeing

The Victoria Tower is a Grade II-listed structure on the summit of Castle Hill and is perhaps its most recognisable landmark. It's a wonderful viewpoint for the surrounding area and therefore essential for anyone visiting this part of West Yorkshire.
