Welcome to Halifax

Halifax is a historic market town located in the metropolitan borough of Calderdale, West Yorkshire. The town is situated in the heart of the Pennines and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. Halifax has a rich history dating back to the 12th century, and it was once a major centre for the wool trade. Today, the town is known for its stunning architecture, vibrant cultural scene, and excellent shopping and dining options.
