Colne Valley Museum

Colne Valley Museum is set in a Grade II listed row of four 1840s weavers' cottages in Golcar, built into the hillside and once home to a handloom-weaving family. You can explore recreated rooms, including a living kitchen, period bedroom and loom chamber, while costumed volunteers demonstrate crafts such as spinning, weaving and clogging. There's also a changing exhibition programme, family workshops, a shop and the Spring Rock Tea Rooms. It suits families and anyone curious about Yorkshire's textile heritage, and is open weekends and bank holiday Mondays, 12–4pm. The museum sits within Kirklees, close to Slaithwaite station 1.4 miles away, with 36 bookable places to stay within 5 miles for those wanting to extend their visit.
