West Yorkshire motorhome hire holidays

West Yorkshire is a land locked Metropolitan County and incorporates Bradford, Dewsbury, Halifax, Huddersfield, Leeds, and Wakefield. Parts of West Yorkshire are very hilly such as Halifax and if you are driving down the M62 in your motor home the journey can be a bit hair raising with the open hilly landscape that allows strong winds to blow across the motorway. Yorkshire was at the heart of the industrial revolution, and this is reflected in the areas many interesting canals, museums, steam railways and Victorian architecture.
