NOSTELL REVIEWS

What a great place, visited with friends, made to feel welcome from the beginning. Only down side is the queue for the cafe, very nice seating area in the courtyard. The house looks fabulous, (couldn't go in as we have a dog). There is then the grounds, just so much space to explore, we felt like we were alone it's so spacious.

Beautiful grounds were a treat to explore. The spaces didn't feel at all busy on a weekend in May so could easily meander around and enjoy the scenery uninterrupted. Well worth a detour if passing by for a calm walk surrounded by lush greenery.

A lovely park for a peaceful walk. The vast space offers plenty of room to explore, with beautiful scenery all around. Perfect for relaxation, picnics, or just enjoying nature. A true urban escape!

SANDAL CASTLE REVIEWS

Suprisingly impressive remains of castle walls and earthworks in pleasant suburbs 2 miles to the south of Wakefield,free to view with a solid modern staircase to the highest point of the bailey. Best of all,on a sunny day visitors walk the perimeter exchanging conversations with local dog walkers and check out the cafe and the views to the north and north east where excellent views can be had of Wakefield,the main railway line to Doncaster raised on a series of viaducts (a popular spot for steam train spotters with large zoom lenses) and,for those interested in Rugby League,the re-developed home of Wakefield Trinity,Belle Vue with its new stand towering over the victorian terrace houses.

The fabulous views, free access and great little cafe make Sandal Castle much more than the sum of its parts. If looked at as 'just' a castle on a particularly nasty day, it maybe would be 3 star. But with yesterday's sun and sky....while eating a huge bacon and egg bap.....deffo 5 star. Great run around for both kids and dogs, by the way.

Beautiful views and nice ruins. There is not that much to do and see here but it can be a nice walk when it’s a good weather. Easily accessible parking and free to visit. Mostly visited because it was on the way during our travel.

WAKEFIELD TOWN HALL REVIEWS

Wonderful old building, with many absolutely marvellous, lovely, sweet, and simply fantastic staff. Had the good fortune to have visited it twice in the past six years and each time has been a treat. Thanks for today!

Did a wedding there with a limousine. The lady at the Town Hall was an absolute gem.. I only wish the other Town Halls would learn from the outstanding example set by this lady. Parking right outside door. not miles away.

Excellent Visit - being able to thank & congratulate the Mayor on his year in office. Loved the buffet.
