Cartworth Moor: what to know before moving day
Addresses up here hang off a handful of lanes: Cartworth Moor Road itself, Arrunden Lane, White Gate Road, Woodhouse Lane, Stony Gate and Hill House Road. Part of Cartworth Moor Road and Hill Top Road are mapped as tracks rather than surfaced roads. The small settlements have their own names, Arrunden, Hill Top and Hill House, and farm names such as Waltin and Coddy's Farm are often the quickest way to describe a house.
The best-known landmark is the Cartworth Moor cricket ground, where the annual Holme Moss Fell Race starts; Cartworth Moor AFC has a pitch nearby, and the Whitegate Leisure caravan site is close by. Cartworth was once a township in the old parish of Kirkburton. If the last part of your lane is unmade, a photo of it helps us judge whether the van can get to the door or should stop at the tarmac.
How the van gets to Cartworth Moor
From Bradford, drive by way of Huddersfield and the A616 to Holmfirth. From the centre the A635 Victoria Street leads to Rotcher Road, then Cartworth Road, Lamma Well Road and Cartworth Bank Road climb south onto Cartworth Moor Road. Some addresses are easier from Woodhouse Lane on the Hinchliffe Mill side.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 45 to 60 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
