Fartown West Yorkshire Map

About Fartown

Fartown, a verdant suburb of Kirklees, carries the quiet dignity of a place accustomed to the passing of seasons. It lies 1.9 km north of Huddersfield (from Huddersfield: bearing 359°T, OS grid SE 144 183). The gentle rise of its streets, leading away from the bustling heart of Huddersfield, offers glimpses of the Pennine hills, their distant contours softened by the Yorkshire light. Fartown’s residential character is marked by a pleasing variety of housing, from the solid Victorian terraces that speak of a prosperous past, to more modern developments that have grown organically, like well-tended gardens. The local parks, particularly the expansive green spaces, become canvases for the shifting skies, reflecting hues of pearl and amber on clear afternoons. A sense of community, born from shared streets and local shops, imbues Fartown with a subtle, enduring charm.
