Grange Moor

Perched on the rolling hills between Huddersfield and Wakefield, Grange Moor is a friendly West Yorkshire village that combines rural charm with a strong sense of community. Surrounded by open countryside and boasting stunning views across the Pennines, it’s a place where peaceful living meets proud Yorkshire spirit.

Grange Moor sits at a crossroads between several local towns—Huddersfield, Wakefield, and Dewsbury—making it ideally located for commuters while maintaining the tranquillity of village life. Historically, the area was part of a working landscape shaped by agriculture and mining, with small collieries once scattered around the moorlands. Today, it’s known more for its scenic beauty, green spaces, and welcoming community.
