Huddersfield
Huddersfield's Victorian railway station — a Grade I listed building that poet John Betjeman called "the most splendid station façade in England" and winner of the Europa Nostra architecture award — sets the tone for a West Yorkshire city whose centre is dense with neoclassical listed buildings, cafés, and restaurants. Sitting at the confluence of the Holme and Colne rivers in the Pennine foothills, it is also the birthplace of rugby league and the hometown of Prime Minister Harold Wilson and film star James Mason.
