Wakefield

Welcome to Wakefield! This charming town in the heart of Yorkshire is a wonderful place to visit, and there’s plenty to see and do here.

Start your visit by exploring the medieval ruins of Wakefield Castle. This imposing fortress was once the home of the Earl of Warwick, and today offers some wonderful views over the town and countryside.

Next, head to the Cathedral Quarter and take a stroll along the banks of the River Calder. Here you’ll find a variety of shops, restaurants and bars, as well as the impressive Wakefield Cathedral. This Gothic cathedral dates back to the 12th century and is well worth a visit.
