Cullingworth
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cullingworth is a medium sized village in West Yorkshire, between Bradford and Haworth. The village is well known locally for holding events such as the Brontë Vintage Gathering every year and the Great Yorkshire Bike Show in 2005. The surrounding countryside is mainly used for sheep and cattle farming, with areas of moorland located nearby as well. The village has seen some new development recently, such as a new primary school, housing estates and shops. Cullingworth was once home to olympic swimmer Duncan Goodhew.
The village is home to the Parkside secondary school, which was recently expanded in line with educational changes (the gradual demise of middle schools in favour of secondary schools - combined middle and high schools), and now educates around 1200 pupils from the surrounding area.
Cullingworth is a civil parish with a parish council. It is in the Bingley Rural ward of the City of Bradford and the Shipley constituency of the UK Parliament.
Cullingworth also has a Methodist Church
It has been voted the " Most Idiosyncratic Village in the North " and therefore is a desirable place to live and as such property prices are quite high.
