Welcome to West Royd

West Royd is a small village located in the metropolitan borough of Kirklees, West Yorkshire. The village is situated on the outskirts of the town of Mirfield and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. West Royd is a peaceful and quiet place to live, with a strong sense of community and a friendly atmosphere. The village has a range of amenities, including a local pub, a post office, and a convenience store.

One of the main attractions of West Royd is its proximity to the Peak District National Park. The village is just a short drive away from some of the most stunning scenery in the UK, including rolling hills, rugged moorland, and picturesque villages. The Peak District is a popular destination for walkers, hikers, and cyclists, and there are plenty of trails and routes to explore. West Royd is also close to the Yorkshire Dales National Park, which offers even more opportunities for outdoor activities.

Despite its rural location, West Royd is well-connected to the rest of West Yorkshire. The village is just a few miles from the M62 motorway, which provides easy access to Leeds, Manchester, and other major cities in the region. The nearby town of Mirfield has a railway station, with regular services to Leeds, Manchester, and Huddersfield. West Royd is a great place to live for those who want to enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside, while still being within easy reach of urban amenities.
