Catering to residents of all ages, the town offers the perfect combination of excellent schooling, easy access to countryside and an extensive choice of leisure, shopping and recreational facilities.

The town is intersected by the scenic Leeds/Liverpool canal and is well known for its Medieval Castle and Church together with a bustling High Street featuring an outdoor market on the cobbled 'setts' three days a week. The town offers an excellent mix of independent shops, pubs and cafes in addition to having well known branded stores and a choice of fashionable bars and restaurants. There are excellent public transport links including a railway station providing regular daily services to Leeds and Bradford. The town enjoys an annual programme of community events and festivals, attracting an ever increasing degree of tourism.
