Midgehole

England

Midgehole occupies a sheltered spot in West Yorkshire's Calder Valley, reached via the A646 that winds through this Pennine valley between Halifax and Todmorden. The village sits amongst the cluster of settlements that characterise this steep-sided valley, with Hebden Bridge 2km away serving as the local transport hub. Electric vehicle drivers will find over 150 public fast chargers in the surrounding area. The name derives from Old English, literally meaning "midge hollow" - a reference to the insects that gather in this damp valley depression.
