Lepton is a small village in the metropolitan borough of Kirklees, in West Yorkshire, England, sitting on the edge of the Pennine foothills a few miles from Huddersfield. Its position gives easy access to moorland walks while keeping the amenities and rail links of the larger towns within commuting distance, including routes towards Leeds.
Historically a woollen-mill community, Lepton still shows that industrial past in stone terraces and converted mill buildings, but today it feels like a semi-rural village with local shops, a village hall, sports clubs and a close-knit community of long-standing families and commuters. The mix of civic activity, countryside and converted industrial architecture makes it a quiet but characterful part of Kirklees.
