Booth West Yorkshire Map

About Booth

Booth, a hamlet in the Kirklees district, breathes the quietude of West Yorkshire's western reaches. It lies 4.6 km west-north-west of Meltham (from Meltham: bearing 299°T, OS grid SE 059 128), and is situated west of Lingards Wood village. Here, the land slopes with a gentle persistence, a quiet suggestion of the Pennine uplands that cradle the horizons, and the air often carries the scent of damp earth and distant sheep. Small clusters of stone cottages, their roofs a mosaic of weathered slate, huddle together as if for warmth against the vast, open skies that sweep over the surrounding fields. The local stone, warm and honeyed in the infrequent sun, speaks of generations who have worked this soil, their lives as much a part of the landscape as the ancient drystone walls that partition the moors. A sense of enduring simplicity pervades Booth, a place where time seems to flow with the slow, steady pace of the clouds drifting across the high moorland.
