Kirklees
Kirklees is a metropolitan borough built around the major textile towns of Huddersfield and Dewsbury.
The Colne and Holme Valleys to the west are steeply rugged on the edge of the Pennines with smaller industrial mill towns like Marsden and Holmfirth.
The Everybody Active place partnership brings together colleagues who are passionate about physical activity, movement and sport across Kirklees.
