Oakes West Yorkshire Map

About Oakes

Oakes, a quiet suburb of Kirklees, exhales the diffused light of West Yorkshire's gentle western slopes. It lies 3.0 km west-north-west of Huddersfield (from Huddersfield: bearing 290°T, OS grid SE 117 174), and is situated east-north-east of Nettleton Hill village. The houses, many of them sturdy terraces built to withstand the passing decades, climb the land with a resolute bearing, their brickwork softened by the muted greens of well-tended gardens. A certain stillness often settles over Oakes, broken only by the distant hum of traffic or the occasional call of a bird, a quietude that feels earned rather than imposed. The land itself, a subtle undulation rather than a dramatic rise, offers glimpses of the wider West Yorkshire landscape, hinting at the moors beyond.
