Crosland Moor is a hillside suburb southwest of Huddersfield, known for its affordability, diversity, and far-reaching views over the Colne Valley. The area blends 1930s-style housing with Victorian terraces and more modern developments, offering a broad range of property choices.
The name is derived from the local landowners the Crosland family, who owned much of the area in 15th and 16th centuries. At the end of Dryclough Road, Beaumont Park, Huddersfield’s first park, begins which was opened in 1883 and mainly consists of woodland. Just off Blackmoorfoot Road beyond the Crosland Heath Golf Course is the Crosland Moor airfield and even further is Huddersfield’s Observatory which is situated high over the town for good views of the sky at night.
Families are well-catered for with local schools such as Moor End Academy and Crosland Moor Junior School, and the area also benefits from close proximity to Greenhead College. Amenities include local shops, takeaways, and supermarkets, while Beaumont Park provides a large green space for recreation.
Crosland Moor is well-connected by bus to Huddersfield town centre, and road links to Lockwood and Honley ensure accessibility. It is a popular choice for first-time buyers, families, and those seeking value without compromising on convenience. Local schools include: Oak Primary School, Moor End Academy and Crow Lane Primary & Foundation Stage School.
