Outdoor activities


Moorland, wooded valleys and rolling green fields provide the backdrop of the many activities on offer in the Kirklees area.

The Peak District National Park and the National Trust Marsden Moor Estate cover the high Pennine moors above Marsden, Meltham and Holmfirth, while to the north and east the landscape becomes gentler with fields and woodlands.

From gentle rambles to strenuous hikes, take time to explore and you'll be rewarded with quiet countryside and far-reaching views. Waymarked trails and national cycle routes traverse the district mingled with stunning parks and nature reserves in which to catch a moment's peace. Discover bridleways and waterways, golf and gliding, climbing and canoeing and enjoy the outdoors.
