Upper Cumberworth is a small stone-built village in the metropolitan borough of Kirklees in England, set on the rolling foothills to the west of the Pennines. It sits close to the larger village of Denby Dale and is within easy reach of Huddersfield, giving residents rural views and good walking country while remaining connected to regional centres.
Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, the locality bears the imprint of Yorkshire’s mixed agricultural and industrial past, with many former textile- and mining-working communities nearby.
