Welcome to Emley

Emley is a small village located in West Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 6 miles east of Huddersfield and 8 miles south-west of Wakefield. The village is known for its iconic Emley Moor Mast, which is the tallest freestanding structure in the UK and the seventh tallest in the European Union. The mast stands at a height of 330.4 metres and is used for transmitting television and radio signals across the region.

Emley has a rich history dating back to the 11th century when it was known as Emelai. The village was once a thriving mining community, with coal mining being the main industry in the area. However, the last coal mine in Emley closed in 1968, and the village has since diversified into other industries such as agriculture and tourism. Today, Emley is a peaceful and picturesque village with a population of around 1,500 people.

Despite its small size, Emley has a strong sense of community, with several local events and activities taking place throughout the year. The village has a primary school, a post office, a village hall, and a pub, which serves as a popular meeting place for locals and visitors alike. Emley is also home to several walking and cycling routes, which offer stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Overall, Emley is a charming village with a rich history and a strong sense of community, making it a great place to visit or call home.
