Welcome to the Rose and Crown. One of the highest pubs in Yorkshire, elevated above the village of Slaithwaite at 988 feet from sea level along with stunning views of the beautiful Colne Valley and over 50 miles beyond on a clear day. You have to travel as far as Northern Poland in search of the next elevation from the Eastern viewpoints in the main bar, restaurant and function room. They may share the same rural setting but are unlikely to offer real ales and homemade Yorkshire pudding.

The lands are in meadow and pasture, with a small portion of arable; the scenery is bold and romantic. In the quarries of the district are found vegetable fossils, especially firs and other mountain trees. The village is beautifully seated in the valley of the river Colne; the inhabitants are chiefly employed in the woollen manufacture, in the spinning of cotton and silk, and in silk-weaving.

Trains: half-hourly to Huddersfield (10 mins) and Manchester Victoria (45 mins). Driving: an hour to Manchester, 20 mins to Huddersfield, 10 to the M62, 40 to Leeds. There are thoughts to tszuj up the M62, and local rail links, as part of the northern powerhouse plans.

Where to buy Think stony old farmhouses between town and moor, piggeries and barn conversions with soaring views of the Pennines; or damp (in a good way), mossy stone Victorian terraces (most affordable); or the occasional old mill conversion. There is 20th-century stuff, too, but it’s more humdrum. Large detacheds and town houses, £300,000-£1.2m. Detacheds, £180,000-£300,000. Semis, £120,000-£280,000. Terraces and cottages, £85,000-£200,000. Flats, £80,000-£200,000. Rentals: a one-bedroom home, £400pcm; three-bed, £550-£800pcm.

Bargain of the week A one-bedroom cottage with a wee courtyard garden, in the centre of Slaithwaite, £59,950 with cornerstoneea.co.uk.

From the streets​

Mike Newman “A real community, with great cafes like Vanilla Bean, Cookhouse and Lock 22, pub/restaurants like the Commercial and Noble’s, with beers often from the local Empire brewery.”

Margaret Tennant “Excellent transport links, the Huddersfield Narrow Canal runs through the village and you can walk into gorgeous countryside.”

Slaithwaite village centre is at the bottom of a steep-sided valley, sandwiched between its main transport links, the trans-Pennine railway and the A62 Manchester Road, while the historic Huddersfield Narrow Canal and the River Colne run through the middle of Slaithwaite.

Housing in the area is mainly terraced above the village, much of this being at Hill Top, perched above the railway line.

Community facilities in Slaithwaite include Slaithwaite Community Centre, next to St James' Church near the village centre. The village also has a fire station and a leisure centre.

Until the local government reorganisation of 1984, Slaithwaite was the centre of Colne Valley Urban District Council, based at Slaithwaite Town Hall. Unlike other such areas around Huddersfield which were incorporated into Kirklees Council it did not retain a third-tier civil parish council after reorganisation.
