As you would expect for a major tourist destination, nearby Holmfirth has much more choice, with Trip Advisor listing no less than 64 places to eat, led by Shimla Indian Cuisine, Catch Seafood Restaurant, Pure North Cider Press Café and Mezze. The Black Cat, The Fleece, The Ford Inn and The Fox House Inn are also popular for their high class pub grub.

Education

The local area operates a three-tier school system, and Stoney Bank chase has all three levels within easy reach of home. Children start at Kirkroyds Infants School, rated ‘good’ by Ofsted in their recent inspection. They then move up to Wooldale Juniors close by, which was assessed to have ‘good’ personal development, behaviour and pupil welfare. Both schools are just a short drive away, or you can leave the car and enjoy a morning walk together.
Older pupils are even luckier, with the ‘good’ rated and highly popular Holmfirth High School just a few minutes walk away from the development across the school fields.

Leisure

For a small village, Thongsbridge has much to offer including sports at Holmfirth High School Sports Centre and Holmfirth Pool, as well as successful village cricket and tennis clubs. Nearby Holmfirth has a host of attractions for tourists and locals alike, including the Valley Theatre, which was nominated best small venue in Britain by the NME. The town has regular festivals throughout the year, including Holmfirth Arts Week in July and the Festival of Folk in May.
With the Peak District national park right on your doorstep, the opportunities are endless for getting out and about and making the most of your exceptional surroundings. While others travel for hours to visit the area, you’ll have a trip of just minutes.

Shopping

Holmfirth has a wide range of local shops, including many local independents selling produce and crafts made in the valley by local people. It also has a friendly local market every Thursday and Saturday, along with a farmers’ market every third Sunday of the month. Alongside the crafts shops, Holmfirth also hosts the modern Riverside Shopping Centre.
