Huddersfield is a large town in West Yorkshire, almost half way between the large metropolitan cities of Leeds and Manchester. It is known for its role in the Industrial Revolution, for being the birthplace of former Prime Minister Harold Wilson and for being where rugby league started. A lot of architecture in the town is from the Victorian period, and the Victoria Tower on Castle Hill is a major feature in the town. There is good shopping in Huddersfield, with big pedestrianized shopping centres to enjoy. Lovely parks make for a peaceful stroll. There is a decent amount of places to go to sample some local nightlife, and there is also a good range of places to eat. Car rental from VIP Cars is one of the best ways to get around Huddersfield.
