Moving in Arrunden: what to know first
Arrunden's houses stand along Arrunden Lane and on Mission View, a short dead-end street off it, with farm buildings at Waltin. Arrunden Lane is a surfaced country lane without centre lines, not a street with parking bays, so the van loads outside the house or in its drive and moves on. Mission View is a cul-de-sac, so say whether there is space at the end to turn a long van, or whether it should reverse in from the lane.
Some homes are off the tarmac. West Gate is a gravel lane, Waltin Road a farm service road that is partly private, and Hill Top Road a footpath closed to motor vehicles, so for a house reached that way the van stops on Arrunden Lane and the last stretch is carried. Tell us how far the door is from the lane, and which end of Arrunden Lane you are nearer.
Arrunden: the local picture
Arrunden Lane is the road through, an asphalt lane with no centre markings, and the houses sit along it and on Mission View, a short dead-end street off it. West Gate, a gravel lane, and Waltin Road, a service road to Waltin farm, lead off towards the fields, and Arrunden Kennels and Cattery is on the lane with an HD9 2RN address.
A short way off at Choppards, the Mission Room on Cote Lane is an Anglican chapel, and the roofless mid-19th-century privies of its Sunday school are listed. About 400 metres away, Wash Pit Mill of about 1840 is a four-storey stone textile mill with an attic, and the Ribble runs on to meet the River Holme at Holmfirth.
How the van gets to Arrunden
Arrunden Lane joins Lamma Well Road at one end and Choppards Lane at the other. On the suggested route from Bradford the van comes to Holmfirth by the M62, Brockholes and the A6024, leaves the town on the A635 and heads out by Rotcher Road and Cartworth Road to Lamma Well Road, roughly 45 to 55 minutes in all.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 45 to 55 minutes. That is an estimate, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.

Frequently asked questions: man with a van in Arrunden
Why do Arrunden addresses say Holmfirth?
Holmfirth is the post town for its HD9 2 postcodes, and Arrunden is one of the hamlets round the town that are often called Holmfirth as a group. Officially it is in Holme Valley parish and the Holme Valley South ward of Kirklees.
Is Arrunden the same place as Washpit?
No. Washpit is a separate hamlet a short way off; Arrunden is the houses on Arrunden Lane and Mission View beside Arrunden Wood. Both have Holmfirth HD9 2 postcodes, so give the street name as well.
