Edward VII

The Edward VII gallery sits in Holmfirth, a proper gem of a mill town that's built its reputation on being the filming location for Last of the Summer Wine. This is a working gallery space rather than a grand Victorian museum - the kind of place where you'll find contemporary art and local work rather than dusty oils behind velvet ropes.

It's best suited to anyone who actually likes looking at art without the stuffiness. If you're touring the Pennines and fancy a break from walking, it's worth poking your head in. The space itself has character - these old Yorkshire mill towns have real bones - and unlike some regional galleries, it doesn't feel like it's trying too hard to impress you.

You're looking at maybe 45 minutes to an hour here unless something really grabs you. Families with older kids who can stand still for five minutes will manage fine. Younger children will get bored fast.

If you're based at Elland Hall Farm or Holme Valley Camping just down the road, Holmfirth makes an easy afternoon sortie. The town itself has decent cafes and a genuine high street - that's rare these days - so bundle the gallery visit with lunch and a walk along the Holme Valley. It's not a day-long destination, but it's the kind of cultural top-up that stops a caravan holiday from being purely countryside-focused. The surrounding hills are excellent for walking if you need proper outdoor time.
