Holmbridge & Digley Reservoir walk.
Holmbridge is a small village in the Holme Valley, in West Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 3 miles south-west of the town of Holmfirth and 5 miles south-east of the city of Huddersfield. Digley Reservoir is a nearby reservoir located just south of Holmbridge.
Holmbridge has a rich history dating back to the 13th century, when it was first mentioned in historical records. The village was originally a small agricultural settlement, and its economy was primarily based on farming and weaving.
In the 19th century, Holmbridge experienced significant growth and development, with the construction of new mills and the expansion of local businesses. The village became renowned for its textile industry, and many of the local mills produced high-quality woollen goods.
Digley Reservoir was built in the early 20th century as a part of a network of reservoirs to provide water to Huddersfield and the surrounding areas. The construction of the reservoir involved flooding a large area of land, which included the village of Deanhouse. Many of the residents were relocated to nearby Holmbridge.
Today, Holmbridge is a popular tourist destination, with many visitors attracted to its picturesque scenery and charming village atmosphere. Digley Reservoir remains an important source of drinking water for the local area and also serves as a popular destination for walkers, cyclists, and anglers.
