Huddersfield is a large town near the confluence of the River Colne and the River Holme. It is in the Metropolitan Borough of Kirklees in West Yorkshire and is located within the historic borders of the West Riding of Yorkshire. Huddersfield is notable for its abundance of fine Victorian architecture. It has the third highest number of listed buildings of any town or city in the UK. The most conspicuous landmark in the Huddersfield area is Victoria Tower on Castle Hill. Overlooking the town, the tower was constructed to mark Queen Victoria's 60th Jubilee Year. A picture of the Victoria Tower features on the New Zealand wine Castle Hill. Huddersfield has a large and diverse shopping area, compared to most towns of its size. One of the central shopping areas is the Kingsgate Centre which was completed in 2001. There is a covered market hall, which has listed building status due in part to its distinctive roof formed by hyperbolic paraboloids, adjacent to the town hall and public library (see Historical landmarks above), and an open market on the opposite side of the town centre. Nightlife has improved dramatically in recent years, with many new trendy pubs and bars establishing in an area surrounding King Street and the Kingsgate Centre. These have proved popular with the ever expanding student population. The Lawrence Batley Theatre,opened in 1994, housed in what was once the largest Wesleyan Chapel in the world, presents dance, drama, comedy, music and exhibitions.

Find hotels in Bath here Reading
Reading was an important centre in the medieval period, as the site of an important monastery with strong royal connections, but suffered serious economic damage during the 17th century from which it took a long time to recover. Today it is again an important commercial centre in Southern England and is often referred to as the capital of the Thames Valley, with the headquarters of some major British companies and the UK offices of a number of major foreign multinationals, especially in the IT industry, including Microsoft, Oracle, Sage, Xansa and Yell.com. It is located at the confluence of the River Thames and River Kennet, and has excellent transport links to London. Every year Reading plays host to two important festivals. The Reading Festival has been running since 1971, while WOMAD found a home in the town in 1990. Internationally, it is perhaps for these two events that the town is best known. Reading Football Club, nicknamed The Royals, play their home games at the Madejski Stadium near junction 11 of the M4. Reading has a good shopping centre with the majority of shops situated in Broad Street and the Oracle Shopping Centre. The Oracle Riverside development provides a number of good restaurants, bars and a cinema all beautifully positioned beside the canal - great for sitting outside in the summer!
