Moor Top is a small residential locality in the metropolitan borough of Kirklees, in West Yorkshire. Sited near open moorland, it typically features stone terraces and newer housing and offers raised views over the surrounding valleys and fields.
Like much of the district, Moor Top bears traces of the Yorkshire textile and mining past - stone cottages, chapels and the odd converted mill - while today most people commute to larger centres for work, enjoying a mix of local shops, green space and a steady, community‑minded atmosphere that reflects wider post‑industrial regeneration across Kirklees.
