About West Yorkshire

West Yorkshire was formed as a metropolitan county in 1974, by the Local Government Act 1972, and corresponds roughly to the core of the historic West Riding of Yorkshire and the county boroughs of Bradford, Leeds, Wakefield, Dewsbury, Halifax and Huddersfield. The Wakefield district's industrial heritage is significantly different from most of the rest of the county in that coal-mining was a large employer whilst textiles was not a particularly large industry (except in Ossett, where the two industries were both important). You will find a variety of Bed & Breakfast accommodation here. Traditional B&Bs, homestays, farmstays, luxury lodges, self catering cottages, cabins, and apartments, inns, guest houses, B & B hotels and charming boutique accommodation.
