Holmfirth
Best known as the filming location for the BBC sitcom Last of the Summer Wine, which ran from 1973 to 2010, Holmfirth is a stone-built West Yorkshire town in the Holme Valley where the River Holme and Ribble meet. Visitors can tour filming locations by bus, stay in Nora Batty's cottage, and visit the Last of the Summer Wine museum. The town centre is thick with listed buildings, and the Peak District National Park lies just a short distance to the south-west.
