It can be a bit rough in town Fri and Sat,but Cubley hall does a nice pint and is quieter,getting a big new Tesco soon,Lex's is a good LBS,a couple of good indians,espescially the Cinnamon Spice,Wharncliffe is about 4 miles down the old railway track,enough bridleways etc to construct some trails,Cut Gate close by,the M1 about 6 miles away,and convenient for manchester,Holmfirth etc.I live just down the hill in Silkstone.Probs worth having a full day out there,stopping for a meal and drinks,to get a taste of it.
