Things to do in Diggle, Greater Manchester
Now due to changes to the county boundary, it is located in Lancashire.
Diggle is located in the east of Saddleworth and is the closest of the villages to the Yorkshire border, as well as the Lancashire ends of two more important trans-Pennine links.
Well served by frequent bus services to Huddersfield, Uppermill followed by Oldham and Manchester, the village's nearest railway station is Greenfield.
In terms of local pubs, Diggle currently sports three where food is also served. At the western end of Diggle, the Navigation Inn starts this triplicate off.
Next, in the village centre is where the Hanging Gate can be found.
It's one of the last pubs in Saddleworth heading in this direction before both The Great Western and The Carriage House can be found alongside the A62.
Finally, there are some Diggle 'Claims to Fame' to mention such as how both it and Dobcross were used as film sets in the 1968 Richard Gere film 'Yanks,' commemorated every August by Saddleworth's 'Yanks Event.'
