Honley is a compact village in Kirklees, England, set in the Holme Valley on the banks of the River Holme, roughly four miles south of Huddersfield. It has a railway station on the Penistone Line, linking the village with Huddersfield and Sheffield, and a landscape of stone-built terraces and former textile mills that reflect its 19th-century industrial past.
Today Honley combines a strong community feel with a commuter role for nearby towns: independent shops, cafés and clubs sit alongside converted mill premises and local sports teams. The village is known locally for its annual agricultural show and active volunteer groups, and its location close to moorland and valley walks makes it popular with walkers and families seeking easy access to the countryside.
