Snowgate Head West Yorkshire Map

About Snowgate Head

Snowgate Head emerges from the gentle folds of West Yorkshire's landscape. It lies 3.4 km east of Holmfirth (from Holmfirth: bearing 82°T, OS grid SE 175 086), and is situated east of New Mill village. The air here, when the wind carries it from the Pennine moors, can hold a certain clean, wild scent, a reminder of the open country that presses in on its edges. The houses of Snowgate Head, a mixture of stone and brick, seem to gather themselves against the sky, their roofs catching the light in shifting patterns throughout the day, a quiet testament to the steady habitation of this place. Though no grand edifice marks its centre, the very texture of the lanes, worn smooth by generations of passage, hints at a history not of grand pronouncements but of enduring, everyday life. The surrounding fields, often green and sometimes dusted with the pale bloom of heather, lend a sense of permanence to Snowgate Head, a feeling that it has always been here, a point of quiet solidity in the shifting weather.
