Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, it is located at one end of the restored Standedge Canal Tunnel, Britain's longest, deepest and highest canal tunnel. In the village there is a listed building, the Gate pub, a newsagent, and a post office/off-licence. Diggle is home to Diggle F.C., an FA registered amateur football club which plays its home games at Churchill Playing Fields, Uppermill. It competes in the Huddersfield and District Association Football League. HistoryThe name "Diggle" comes from the Saxon word degle meaning "valley".[2] Like many of the Saddleworth villages, it traces its history back to a collection of hamlets.

The nearest stations to Diggle are in Greenfield and Marsden in Yorkshire. The hourly daytime bus service runs to Huddersfield, Oldham and Manchester. See also{{portal|Greater Manchester}}
