Highfields West Yorkshire Map

About Highfields

Highfields, a quiet enclave in the Kirklees district of West Yorkshire, breathes with the gentle hum of suburban life. It lies 0.7 km north-north-west of Meltham (from Meltham: bearing 337°T, OS grid SE 097 112). The landscape around Highfields unfolds with a subtle beauty, the rolling hills of the Pennines providing a verdant backdrop that catches the soft Yorkshire light. Though not a place of grand pronouncements, Highfields possesses a certain dignified character, its homes often fronted by gardens where the scent of roses mingles with the earthy aroma of damp soil after a spring shower. The local character is one of steady endeavour, echoing the industrial past of the wider Kirklees area, though now the pulse is quieter, more domestic. Children's laughter can sometimes be heard from the local primary school, a cheerful sound that adds to the gentle rhythm of the neighbourhood.
